Validity

On first issue of a licence, the licence document shall be issued without a period of validity. This means that the licence document itself is always valid. An exception to this is the RPL proficiency check. This has a validity period of 5 years.

  • A class rating has a validity period of 2 years;
  • A type rating has a validity period of 1 year;
  • LPE level 4 has a validity period of 4 years;
  • LPE level 5 has a validity period of 6 years;
  • LPE level 6 is valid forever.

Costs

The rate for this service is specified by the government in the Regeling tarieven transportsectoren (Dutch):

  • The processing costs for ATPL, CPL, or MPL are € 798.60 (incl. VAT);
  • The processing costs for PPL or LAPL are € 768.35 (incl. VAT).

Payment

When Kiwa Register receives your application, an invoice is sent to you. The payment must be made, at the latest, within four weeks from the date of the invoice. If your employer pays for the costs of the application, you can state this during the application. If you cancel the application, or if your application is negative/is not processed, the costs are not refunded because you are paying for the processing of the application.
