As far as I remember there is no procedure of "transfer". You have to apply exactly the same as 1st time. Their logic is that EEA2 is a mere confirmation of your existing rights, not a "visa". And since your circumstances may have changed, in order to confirm your rights "as of today" they need documents from you showing that you still have those rights.
