FAA to verify the authenticity of EASA licence, fees payable to UK CAA (AGAIN)?
I hold a FAA PPL issued on the basis of UK issued JAA license (now EASA). Back in the day I submitted:

to UK CAA: "Application for Verification of a Licence"
and
to FAA: "Verify the Authenticity of a Foreign License"

I also paid the verification fee to UK CAA.


A month ago I received my EASA CPL. Guess what, licence number differs slightly from the previous JAA one and thus no longer matches the one written on the back of my FAA certificate.

I just resumed FAA flight training, contacted local FSDO and a guy there advised I need to go through the foreign license verification process again because the license number has changed. I now regret I ever asked hehe...


The question is, when I apply for verification of a licence to UK CAA, do I have to pay verification fees AGAIN (44 pounds, I believe) just because they changed the licence number?
