What is the correct name of the UK Licence I have
I was issued a European Union Flight Crew Licence ATPL in 2009 Country Code GBR and never changed to any other European Country. Since Brexit, I've done nothing with it apart from keep my Airbus rating on it from a far a away country up to date and valid.
If I requested an updated licence from the UK CAA, what would the correct official name of a UK License be. Can anyone who has come out of training in the UK recently confirm what's on the front cover of their Licence and what's on the front of those blue books they issue for Licence Holders
What would be the correct name to put on a job application or CV
A TRE friend of mine told me it's now called a UK National Licence ? Can anyone confirm and point me to a reference, post a link or picture please.
Just to add, my UK Medical License says United Kingdom Class 1 MEDICAL CERTIFICATE pertaining to a Part FCL Licence
++++ What would be the correct name to put on a job application or CV ++++
Just an update 30th June 2022, I've just had a telephone conversation with the UK CAA Licence department and they have confirmed that the correct name is
UK Part-FCL ATPL

I originally had a U.K. ATPL in 1994 which became a U.K. JAA ATPL then eventually
a U.K. issued EASA ATPL, then last year I added an SEP related rating, and the license came back as a U.K. part FCL ATPL.
If I was putting it on a CV I would just say it was a U.K. ATPL. Which in reality is what it always has been.

2009 - The UK CAA would be issuing JAA licences.
2013 - JAA became EASA.
2018 (Spring) - Deadline date to exchange old National and JAA licences into EASA. But I wouldn't worry to much about this deadline. It was only an exercise to generate revenue, with the end of 'same day service', and establishing a very nice mess.
Unable to offer any suggestions.

It’s just an ICAO licence now, like the ones from Pakistan, Mongolia, Russia or Brazil
excrab is correct - it is a UK ATPL
