A copy of the CAA Form for revalidation is
here.. This must be sent off to the Belgrano so that they know your licence is still extant (ie) if you want to go Florida flying and need the CAA to confirm that you have a valid PPL, then you could find yourself embarrassed. The instructor who flies the hour with you (for SEP renewal by experience) need not be an examiner, but AIUI an examiner has to sign the renewal in your licence and the back of the CAA Revalidation Form.
As for MEPs, those are outside my budget!!
