Apply for reactivation of a UK issued Part 66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence

If you never held a UK issued Part 66 licence and you currently hold an EU issued Part 66 licence, you will need to apply for UK Part-66 licence with an EU Part 66 licence.

Pre-requisites

You must have previously held a UK issued Part 66 Licence which was subsequently transferred to an EU member state prior to the UK EU Exit date.

You will be required to hold a current EU issued Part 66 licence which has not been suspended or enforcement action taking place.

This application process will allow your previously surrendered UK issued Part 66 Licence to be reactivated post the UK EU exit date where an individual can now hold a UK and EU issued licence concurrently.

Please note if you require a change to your UK licence or it has expired since transfer then a SRG1014 is required to be submitted in addition to the reactivation application form along with the associated fee.

How to apply

Once all of the requirements have been met, please apply for Reactivation of UK Issued Part 66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence - SRG 1014RET.

What to include with your application

You will need to include the following information with your application:

• Application for reactivation of UK Issued Part 66 Licence (SRG 1014RET).
• Certified true copy of your valid passport or UK Driving Licence certified by an appropriate person.
• Certified true copies or originals of the appropriate EU issued Part 66 Licence.
• Copy of UK Issued Part 66 Licence (if available).
• If changes or a renewal is required in addition to the reactivation, then a SRG 1014 will be required to support the application with the associated documentation and applicable fees.

Applications and documents posted from outside the UK

When submitting applications or documentation via post/courier to the UK please ensure that you complete the import declaration on any package in the correct manner.
Please ensure that you enter the value of the package content as zero/nil. Otherwise, this will generate import duties in the UK which will be re-charged to you.

While there is a fee for the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) application process, this does not represent an importation value of the package content. Therefore, the application fee should not be stated on the import declaration form that a candidate completes when posting supporting documents to CAA UK.

What to expect

• We will contact you if we have any queries regarding your application and may keep your application pending for 30 working days awaiting any additional documentation to be submitted.
