Requesting the replacement issue of flight attendant certificates

As a flight attendant, do you need a new flight attendant certificate instead? You can apply for this from the Federal Aviation Office (LBA) under certain conditions

If you apply to the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (LBA) for a replacement issue, you must give reasons for this.

The following reasons are possible:

• Loss
• theft
• Change of personal data: First name(s), surname, gender, nationality
• other reasons, for example if the previous cabin crew attestation is no longer legible or has been torn and is therefore unusable.

If you are requesting a replacement cabin crew attestation due to loss, theft or other reasons:

• Copy of the flight attendant certificate to be replaced
• if you do not have a copy of the cabin crew attestation: Copy of the basic course certificate
• if the date of issue of the cabin crew attestation is 60 months or more in the past: Proof of the last flight assignment in the past 60 months, for example roster, route assignment statement or flight hours overview

If you are applying for a replacement cabin crew attestation due to a change in personal data:

• Official document, e.g. birth certificate, marriage certificate, decision of the local court

General:

• Other documents relevant to the certificate
• Identification document, e.g. identity card or passport

• You hold a cabin crew attestation or have held one in the event of loss.
• If your cabin crew attestation was issued more than 60 months ago, you must provide proof that you have flown within the last 60 months.
