This page provides details on how to apply for a replacement engineer licence if it has been lost, damaged or stolen.
Pre-Requisites
The person applying for a replacement licence must have previously met all the requirements to have held a UK Part 66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence and/or British Civil Airworthiness Requirements (BCAR) Section L Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Licence.
If the lost UK Part 66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence and/or BCAR Section L Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Licence is expired, an application for the licence renewal is required to be submitted.
There is further information available on how to renew a UK Part 66 aircraft maintenance licence and/or renew a BCAR section L licence, as applicable.
If the Licence has been stolen, please provide us with details of the crime reference number and the police authority it was reported to.
Please note that your Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Reference or Licence number should be included in your application where possible.
How do I apply?
To apply for a Replacement Licence, you will need to fill in the Application for copy or replacement documents - licences and/or certificates (SRG1117) online application form.
You can save your progress when completing the form and revisit it at a later time by clicking “Save” and then following the on-screen instructions.
You will be asked for a ‘Challenge Keyword’ and you should choose a memorable word so that you can retrieve your information.
How much does it cost?
The fee is £57.00.
An additional fee will be payable if you wish your documents to be returned by secure courier.
The current Scheme of Charges (Personnel Licensing) provides further information.
Same day services
The same day, special and customised delivery charges are available at an additional cost. This service is on request, which should be made at the time of initial application.
Documents are worked to a same day turnaround from receipt of customer request by 11:00 to completion of the processing of the application by 16:30 on the same working day.
The customer will be able to collect the documents by 16:30 on the same day or the documents shall be sent by Royal Mail special delivery, where this is included in the service.
