FAA US AGENT FOR SERVICE or USA Address - Deadline July 7 2025

A certificate holder that does not register an agent for service by the July 7, 2025, deadline is not able to exercise the privileges of their certificate(s) and is subject to an enforcement action, which can, and most likely would, include up to certificate revocation.

An applicant who has not registered an agent-for-service before they apply for a certificate will not be issued said certificate.

BE AWARE that:

Pursuant 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.
