In addition the applicant for additional basic categories or subcategories to an aircraft maintenance License shall submit his/her current original aircraft maintenance License to the competent authority together with the EASA Form 19.
Where the applicant for change of the basic categories qualifies for such change via the procedure which has occurred in a different Member State (other than the Member State which issued the license), the application shall be sent to the original competent authority which issued the first license.
Where the applicant for change of the basic categories qualifies for such change via a procedure in a Member State other than the Member State which issued the license, the maintenance organisation approved in accordance with Annex II (Part-145) shall send the aircraft maintenance License together with the EASA Form 19 to the “original” competent authority for stamp and signature of the change or reissue of the License, as appropriate.
