I just did an address change with the FAA on my license.
Was told a few days ago I also needed a English endorsement by my overseas company, Why this is needed is beyond me.
From what I read when the new license is issued reflecting the address change the endorsement for English will be added automatically.
Has anyone had any luck with this.
Really strange for USA ex pats to have this done.
Thanks in advance.

No need to worry about it. It will come on your license. Everybody needs the endorsement to fly international regardless of your native language.

Got the new ones in the mail with English endorsement, did not have to pay the 2 bucks because of the address change.
System does work.

I recently did an address change online with the FAA and my new ATPL came with the English proficient endorsement automatically. I didn't have to do a thing except pay the $2 for the addr change.

I've received my FAA license and there at XIII. Limitations it says ENGLISH PROFICIENT.

What does it means?

It means that, per the FAA, you meet the language proficiency requirements of ICAO level 4 (Operational).

There's no other testing involved, as the FAA deems their existing English language licensing requirement as meeting or exceeding level 4.

Whether it's accepted by your home CAA as proof of proficiency is up to them.
