Yes, you are right - thanks blindsquirrel for pointing it out - this is a new requirement. I checked and my last application was in December 2012 and I didn't need any CoR then. For the record - I'm really glad to now have gone from 61.75 to a full FAA certificate and won't miss going through the verification process every time something changes. And getting up to speed to do the private checkride definitely improved my flying and currency.
