 FAQs

  • You are only required to designate a U.S. agent for service if you: • Do not have a U.S. physical address of record on file with the FAA; • Have a foreign address of record on file with the FAA; and • Hold or apply for a certificate, rating, or authorization under 14 CFR Part 47, 61, 63, 65, 67, or 107. You do not need to designate a U.S. agent if you have already updated your record of address with the FAA to provide a U.S. physical address. If you want to provide the FAA with a U.S. physical address, you may do so through the standard processes for Airmen or Aircraft Owners in lieu of designating a U.S. agent for service. Please be aware that a U.S. physical address is an address in the States of the United States, the District of Columbia, or any U.S. territory or possession, but excludes post office boxes, military post office boxes, mail drop boxes, and commercial addresses that are not also residential addresses.

  • Only the individuals who hold or apply for certificates issued under 14 CFR Part 47, 61, 63, 65, 67, or 107 and who do not have a U.S. physical address of record on file with the FAA are required to designate a U.S. agent for service on USAS. The U.S. agent for service would receive service of FAA documents on behalf of the applicant or certificate holder

  • The compliance date for certificate, rating, or authorization applicants to designate a U.S. agent for service is April 2, 2025. The compliance date for current certificate, rating, or authorization holders is July 7, 2025.

  • A U.S. agent for service designation is effective once an individual designates their U.S. agent for service on USAS and the system sends an automated email to that individual confirming the designation was successful.

  • Item descriptionPursuant to 14 CFR. 3.303, individuals who hold a certificate, rating, or authorization issued under 14 CFR Part 47, 61, 63, 65, 67, or 107, who fail to timely designate a U.S. agent for service and comply with the requirements under 14 CFR Part 3, subpart C, may not exercise the privileges of any certificate, rating, or authorization issued under 14 CFR Part 47, 61, 63, 65, 67, or 107, and an individual aircraft owner's aircraft registration certificate will be considered ineffective. The FAA may take enforcement action against these individuals consistent with FAA Enforcement and Compliance Order 2150.3. The regulation also provides that after the deadline for compliance passes, applicants of any certificate, rating, or authorization issued under 14 CFR Part 47, 61, 63, 65, 67, or 107, who fail to designate a U.S. agent for service and comply with the requirements under 14 CFR Part 3, subpart C shall not be issued a certificate, rating, or authorization under 14 CFR 47, 61, 63, 65, 67, or 107.
