I've conceived of one simple solution to the problems encountered to date:

2 original "licenses" are printed on heavy paper,

each with a CERTIFICATE OF ADMISSION and a CERTIFICATE OF OATH,

and mailed to the newly admitted BAR "member" (licensee):

Both "licenses" show a CERTIFICATE OF ADMISSION on the front side,

and a CERTIFICATE OF OATH on the back side.

Both front sides are already completed by the Supreme Court Clerk.

Both back sides are completed with the member's signature and

the signature of the administering officer, date, etc.

All 4 signatures must use wet ink, not an electronic format.

One completed "license" is mailed back to the BAR --

one original sheet of paper with 2 sides:  front and back.

The other is kept in the legal custody of the member

e.g. and ideally mounted on his office wall.

The licensed member is free to make photocopies

of both sides, as needed to satisfy client requests

to inspect both sides.

Ultimately, all 50 State + 1 DC BARs will be required to publish

electronic copies of these original "licenses" on the Internet,

for easy access and for routine inspections by the public.

Such access means that BOTH SIDES of all licenses

can be rapidly viewed on the Internet with 2 clicks of a mouse.
