I recite fact about licence (11)
I believe the answer is:
certificate
'licence' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'i recite fact about' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'recite'+'fact'='irecitefact'
'irecitefact' with letters rearranged gives 'CERTIFICATE'.
(Other definitions for certificate that I've seen before include "Document verifying qualifications etc" , "Film classification" , "Statement of qualification" , "formal document" , "Diploma" .)
