Frequently asked questions

The process of transferring one license to another authority is as follows:

1. The holder of a licence issued by AESA intending to transfer his licence to an authority other than that which issued the first licence (AESA), shall request the transfer of his licence to the new authority.

2. It must be the Authority of that country that contacts the Spanish Authority through an official request for transfer, via email.

3. A “licensing verification” format is required. Once completed by the SLFTM, it will be sent to this Authority via email.

4. The email indicates that until the original License is received in the Spanish Authority, the complete file will not be sent. Such License must be submitted either by the applicant or the Authority by registered mail.

5. Upon receipt of the Original LMA License, the applicant’s entire file will be sent, via email, to the Authority of the country to which the license is intended to be transferred.

6. The process is closed when the Authority of that country sends a letter indicating that the process has been completed by issuing the new AML. At that time, the Spanish License is revoked.
