Get the licence signed by whom? The instructor I use for the check ride?
No by an examiner, not an instructor.
The instructor will sign in your log book to say that the 1 hour instruction flight took place.
You then show this to an examiner, and they will revalidate your licence.
Obviously it would be better if you could keep doing a little flying in the mean time, even if it's all dual. Otherwise you may find yourself very much out of touch and need a lot of dual, when you come to start flying again.
