I purchased a tv license and opted to have them mail me a paper license, rather than have the license emailed, giving me my first actual mail, in my name, to my address. I received it yesterday.
So this is the kind of thing I've never seen in the U.S.
There was a letter with it explaining that license records are kept online and that there was no need to have a paper license. It encouraged me to go paperless next year. On the back of the letter was instructions on how to fold my tv license (with pictures) into an origami swan, since I didn't need a paper tv license.
I laughed.
