If you're going to work as a pilot overseas, there are some things your employer might ask for.
Letters to verify licence details
If your employer asks for a letter that verifies your licence details, we can send one.
The letter costs $50. It will include information we have about you, such as:
- your flight crew licence details, including endorsements, ratings and approvals
- your aviation reference number
- your aviation medical details
- details of suspensions, cancellations or any action we have taken.
To request the letter:
- Fill in the Flight crew licence verification form
- Attach the supporting documents
- Email or post it to the address in the form.
If you're having trouble filling in your form, contact your flying school first. Contact us if you still need help.
Confirmation of accidents or incidents
Your employer may ask for a letter to confirm you haven't had an accident or incident.
You can ask for this letter using the aviation incident reporting summary request form.
Only the licence holder can fill in this form.
Certifying documents
There are certain people who can certify documents you send to us.
You may need someone to witness a statutory declaration for overseas work. Check the Attorney-General's list of approved witnesses for who can certify these documents.
If you are not in Australia, you will need to find an approved witness overseas.
Timing to process forms
If you're going overseas, make sure you leave enough time for us to process your forms.
Each type of application has an average turnaround time.
You can check your application's progress in your CASA self-service account.
