Interesting. When I was going through this process every authority and every school that I was in contact with insisted that license application must be through the authority of the state which held you medical records. In fact several of the license application forms for various countries state that the application cannot be processed unless your medical records have been officially transferred to that state. Perhaps it is not an EASA wide regulation, but a national regulation that most, but clearly not all nations, have adopted.

That is one of the interesting and maddening things about EASA. While it is the regulatory authority in Europe, there are still national differences which can be hard to figure out. The radio license is a perfect example. Most states require it, but then I find out Ireland does not.

Anyway, good luck in the process. There are several of of here who have been through it so feel free to ask if you have more questions.
