Thank you for your replies! It was my bad, I've got 2011 written on my license,that's when it was changed to a new format, but it was initially issued in 2009..nevertheless, it's expired..
Nick14 thank you for your input! I thought that too, but I kind of hoped that the type rating refresher course wouldn't be necessary. Someone actually told me that due to the new rules all you need is the medical in order to have it re-issued, sounded too good! It's going to be complicated because my type rating expired a year ago.
