In order to change the state of licence issue of a JAR or Part FCL licence issued by another member state to the UK, all medical records must be transferred from your current NAA to the UK before we are able to issue a UK EASA Part-FCL Licence.
How to transfer the medical
Please contact your authority's medical department and initiate the transfer according to the local application process. Then, please contact UK CAA to confirm that the medical records have been successfully transferred to the UK CAA.
How to apply for the licence transfer
Once the medical requirements have been met, you will have to submit a paper application form SRG1136.
- Application form SRG1136
- Current fee as per the Scheme of Charges
- Certified true copy of existing licence
- Certified true copy of existing Part-MED Medical Certificate
- Certified true colour copy of photographic ID (passport or valid EEA/EU National Identity Card or full EU photographic driving licence)
- Certified true copy of Part-FCL/JAR ATPL exam results (if applicable)
How to apply
Stage one
You can send your application by email to Licenceapplications@caa.co.uk
or by post to:
Flight Crew Licensing, SSC
Aviation House
Beehive Ring Road
Crawley
West Sussex
RH6 0YR
Stage two
Your application will be assessed within our standard turnaround time. Once we have reviewed your paperwork, we will request confirmation of the licences and privileges you hold from your current NAA.
We do this by requesting a Doc155 (a standard template used by all EASA states).
Stage three
Once we receive the Doc155, your application will be reassessed again within our standard turnaround time.
If there are any discrepancies between your application and the Doc155, we may seek further clarification from your NAA, which may delay the process.
When we are satisfied, we will email you asking you to surrender your current licence. This is because a pilot may only hold one EASA licence at a time and therefore you must give up your current licence before we can issue your new UK EASA licence.
Stage four
Once we have received your surrendered licence, we will be able to issue your new UK EASA licence. However, this will be subject to our standard turnaround times again.
You may choose to send your original licence in with your application, which will significantly speed up the process.
However, you will not be able to fly during this time.
We recommend that all of your ratings are updated before the application for the change of state is submitted as this may add a delay to your application being processed.
If you have added or updated a rating during this period, please contact our licensing department so that we can request further information from your NAA.
Processing time
Given that there are several steps to this type of application and given that we are reliant on the cooperation and turnaround times of other authorities, change of state applications can take several months to complete.
Please factor this in when you make your application, as we are not normally able to speed up the process
