Maintenance on aircraft may only be carried out and released by authorized persons. To demonstrate this, the aircraft maintenance technician (AMT) needs a licence: Part-66 AML (Aircraft Maintenance Licence). An aircraft maintenance technician must comply with the European standard prescribed by EASA and established in the EASA Part 66 AML regulations 1321/2014. When the qualifications are met, a licence can be requested. A Part 66 AML consists of a basic category/sub-category and additional type ratings.
Note: Read more about the longer lead time for the handling of applications.
The latest update about accepting foreign applications for initial issues of a Part-66 AML Licence can be found on the foreign initial issue webpage.
Please note: as of 12 June 2024, the procedure for applying for the endorsement of a first aircraft type rating under a certain category to the AML has changed. Completing the required on-the-job training (OJT) in a Part-145 or Part-CAO approved maintenance organisation is only allowed after having a direct approval from ILT. Kiwa can’t endorse type ratings without this approval from ILT. The procedure for applying for direct approval can be found on the website of ILT.

The validity of a Part-66 AML expires five years after the last issue or change. The validity of the Part-66 AML can be extended by five years at a time. You can submit an renewal request for this. When requesting a duplicate of a Part-66 AML, for example because it has been lost, stolen or damaged, the new Part-66 AML will retain its original validity.

A copy of an identity document may be requested to verify the identity or check the accuracy of the personal data that we process. For these purposes, only the first name, last name, date of birth and place of birth are required. This means that the other personal data is not required, unless stated otherwise. Taking this and your right to privacy into account, we request applicants to shield the elements that are not necessary. In this way, we guarantee that only the necessary personal data is processed. This can be achieved by using the Kopie-ID mobile application developed by the Dutch Rijksdienst voor Identiteitsgegevens (RvIG). This application has been developed exclusively for shielding copies of identity documents.
Go to the website of the RvIG for more information on making a secure copy of your Identification Document (ID).
