Applying for a duplicate of an EASA AML for maintenance technicians

If your EASA Aircraft Maintenance Licence (AML) is damaged, lost or stolen, you can apply for a duplicate. If your EASA AML was issued in the Netherlands, you must apply for a duplicate through the Civil Aviation Authority the Netherlands (CAA NL), part of the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate (ILT).

Required attachments

You must upload several attachments with your online application. For an EASA AML replacement, you will need:

  • A copy of your passport or other valid form of identification from an EU Member State, Liechtenstein, Norway or Iceland.
  • If your EASA AML is damaged: your damaged EASA AML, as complete and legible as possible.
  • If your EASA AML is lost or stolen: a copy of the police report.

How to apply

Please note: gather all attachments before completing the online form.

Apply for a duplicate of your EASA AML using the online form Application for an EASA Aircraft Maintenance Licence (AML) (EASA Form 19). In the form, select: Duplicate of an EASA AML.

Please note: you must enter your name and place of birth exactly as shown in your passport or other valid form of identification.

Costs

The replacement of an EASA AML costs €128. This amount is legally determined in the Regeling tarieven transportsectoren (Transportation Sectors Tariffs Scheme, in Dutch). You do not have to pay VAT on this amount.

Please note: If your employer is covering the costs you can indicate this during the application process. Please request authorisation from your employer for this and upload the completed and signed authorisation form as an attachment to your application.

Returning your current EASA AML

If your EASA AML is damaged, you must send your EASA AML to the CAA NL.

If your EASA AML is lost or stolen, CAA NL will register the original licence as missing once your application is received. The original EASA AML will no longer be valid. You are not permitted to carry out any aircraft maintenance without a valid EASA AML.

If you find the original EASA AML after you have submitted your application for a duplicate, you must send the original to:

CAA NL
For the attention of: AML Team
Kingsfordweg 1
1043 GN Amsterdam
the Netherlands

You will receive a confirmation email once CAA NL has received your original EASA AML.

Please note: you must always keep a copy of your EASA AML. If there is an inspection while you do not have your original EASA AML and you are awaiting the duplicate, you must show the copy and the confirmation email.

After your application

  1. You will receive an automatic email confirming that CAA NL has received your application.
  2. You will receive a payment request by email. Please pay within 4 weeks of the date on the payment request.
  3. If any information is missing, CAA NL will ask you to provide additional details.
  4. Once your application is complete and the fee has been paid, CAA NL will begin processing your application.
  5. CAA NL will take approximately 40 working days to process your application.
  6. You will receive a decision by email. You will also receive an acknowledgement of payment for your records. If your application is approved, you will receive your new licence by post.

Validity

An EASA AML is valid for 5 years from the date of issue or amendment. The expiry date is shown in box XIII of the EASA AML. If your licence is due to expire within 3 months, you can apply for an AML renewal.
