Licence Verification for FAA: does the foreign licence have to be valid?
Hello,
I hold a UK JAR CPL IR... My IR ME is not valid anymore (expired just under a year ago).
I would need to apply for the FAA licence verification to take a FAA ATP checkride (as I meet the requirements per Part 61 etc).
So here is my question: does the uk licence have to be valid? I am not seeking a FAA PPL based on my JAR licence, I need to get that letter to take my checkride for ATP AMEL.
Thanks

Your PPL doesn't need to be current, but your CPL will have to be. Otherwise the CAA are simply going to tell the FAA you use to have a licence!
Don't get confused with licence and ratings validity.
Perhaps reply giving exact dates that your CPL, MEP, SEP, and IR expire and I can answer better.

You don't need an FAA licence to take an FAA ATP, so don't even need the verification.
