If a change of personal details generates a change to the privileges held on a UK Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance licence, your licence will be issued for a further five-year validity and will therefore be subject to an additional proportionate fee. If this is the case, you will be contacted again at a later date.

If you are applying for any other additional services, the appropriate fee will apply.

An additional fee will be payable if you wish your documents to be returned by secure courier.

The Scheme of Charges (Personnel licensing) provides further details.
