I'm guessing if it is not 6 then I need an examiner to sign me off, so any previous examiner that I have flown with should be able to do this, by proxy, right?
If the examiner can't sign you off anymore (maybe because the scheme has expired) or if you're not a six, you're due for a formal exam at a language institute. Expect somewhere between 100 and 160 euros for such an exam, and a duration of about 20 minutes.
(I seem to recall that there was one further limitation, but I'm not quite sure about it anymore. The examiner could sign you off, but only during some sort of flight test. So if you visited the examiner just to get his signature for a revalidation by experience, that visit was deemed to be too short for the examiner to make a proper assessment. But as I said, I'm not sure about this. I do recall that the wording on the regulation was rather vague about it though. In any case, *instructors* have never been able to sign you off, only *examiners* could do that.)

Not sure if I mentioned this before, but the first time I ever came across this for myself was when applying to the CAA for the initial JAA IR, Jan 2012, when it was discovered I did not have the Level 6 signed off. The IR examiner (CAA staff FE) did it then.
Maybe I had it from the various previous check flights etc but it doesn't look like anybody kept a record, and the CAA certainly didn't.
