Since when did the FAA start charging for licence issue?

Last I heard, the FAA will give you a licence, for free - but if you elect to have a designated examiner write out the temporary certificate for you (rather than taking yourself to the FAA office), then the examiner may charge you for his/her time and/or travel expenses.

Whether you get it from the FAA office, or a designated examiner, the temporary certificate will allow you to fly until your actual licence arrives, through the mail, from the FAA in Oklahoma.

Whilst you don't need any TRAINING - you are required to take a "flight review" (used to be known as a BFR) before you can exercise the privilidges of the temporary certificate.
