How to proceed
Transfer of a licence from an EASA Member State to Luxembourg
In order to request a transfer, the holder is required to submit the relevant form, duly completed and signed, to the DAC primarily via the MyGuichet.lu procedure, together with the documents indicated therein:
- for airplane and helicopter pilots: form DAC-LIC 114-2;
- for sailplane and balloon pilots: form DAC-LIC 114-3.
The procedure is carried out via MyGuichet.lu and can be done with or without authentication with a LuxTrust product or an electronic identity card (eID).
Requests can still be made by post or by email to lic@av.etat.lu, but will take longer to process.
Before issuing a Luxembourg licence, the DAC will contact the authority that issued the foreign licence to confirm its authenticity.
Examiner's certificates are automatically transferred, except for "Senior Examiner" certificates.
Transfer of a licence from Luxembourg to another EASA Member State
Pilots who wish to transfer a Luxembourg licence to another Member State must submit an application to that Member State.
The Member State's national authority will then send the DAC a request to verify the licence.
Transfer of a medical record from an EASA Member State to Luxembourg
Pilots who wish to transfer their foreign medical file to Luxembourg must complete the corresponding form (form DAC-LIC 114-4) and send it to the Aero-Medical Department of the authority of the Member State that issued the medical certificate.
Transfer of a medical record from Luxembourg to another EASA Member State
Pilots who wish to transfer their medical file to another Member State must complete the relevant form (form DAC-LIC 114-5) and send it to the Aero-Medical Department of the DAC by email.
