The personal details that appear on your licence should match the information on your photo ID and include your current permanent address.
If you have not already converted your pilot licence to an EASA licence, then updating your licence will mean that it will be compulsorily converted to an EASA licence and a conversion fee will be charged.
How to change your personal details/address on your licence
If you have previously applied for a licence or rating using our eLicensing portal (applicable to commercial pilots only), you will have to apply for this service through the portal.
For more information on how to submit an eLicensing application please see eLicensing guidance for pilots.
