Revalidation process all over again.
I, originally, had a Foreign Licence FAA certificate issued in 1991 on the basis of my UK ATPL. I, subsequently, changed to a JAA(UK) ATPL some years later and had to go through the full verification process again. One letter/number change means a reverification.
It is all quite straightforward as long as you give yourself about two months to do everything before you actually need it. The only people you part money to is the UK CAA (needless to say).
I will have to go through the verification process again if I wish to add any ratings to it, such as a Seaplane Rating.
If you don't complete what you intended in 6 months (eg. Seaplane Rating/ get the Foreign Pilot FAA licence issued) then you will have to go through the whole process again.
