Today I should once more drive to Redhill, copy my EASA licence again, get it signed again as a certified copy, then post it to CAA Flight Crew Licencing who issued it, to prove they issued it. I will send it Registered Post this time with “Please do not lose this document again” written on the envelope.
But should I bother? So much effort every time I try to do something. Life puts up these barriers again and again, and I am so very very tired.
Yes I messed up, I failed to check the CAA’s Document 31 to ensure the place I did the **** course was approved to do that course. I was ignorant, and the ATO was ignorant of their “Limitation”.
I can’t believe the stupidity of all this. The licencing authority demanding a certified copy of a licence they issued. The CAA should keep proper records.
It is so frustrating when people disappoint me by not being up to the standard their qualifications imply.

Either that, or they are simply incompetent.
@MichaelP they want certified copies as they don’t have records / config control of what ratings have been revalidated ‘in the field’.
An EASA PPL became a 'UK FCL PPL' automatically, even though it still says "EASA" on the front. It remains valid.

So I have two licences as one.
They were sent certified copies of both EASA and UK licences which are now ‘one’!
If an ATO has delivered a course, and charged you for it, that they are not approved to do I would be seeking legal advice right now personally.
No.
You have 2 licences:
1 UK ANO PPL
1 UK Part-FCL PPL
