I sent in an application for a LAPL, which was required to be accompanied by a copy of the LAPL medical certificate. This requirement is quite ridiculous, because the AME cannot print out the certificate unless all relevant details have been entered on the CAA's system. The CAA is asking for a certified copy of a record on their database.
I got the AME to certify a copy and then convinced the CAA that he was suitably qualified to certify his own certificate.
