A U.S. Agent for Service designation is required for
Individuals who only have a foreign address and have previously obtained or are
in the process of obtaining a certificate or rating in accordance with 14 CFR
Parts 47, §61, §63, §65, §67, or §107.
The Agent will receive important documents on behalf
of the applicant or certificate holder for situations such as:
•
Enforcement action letters, notices, and orders
•
Reexamination letters
•
Letters of investigation
•
Letters requesting additional information or denying a medical certificate; and
•
Notices to aircraft owners of ineffective or invalid aircraft registration
The US Agent for Service information should not
be used as an applicant’s residential or physical address. It should only
be captured in the US Agent for Service portal. A certificate that is
issued will still be mailed to an applicant at their designated foreign address
providing the Registry can confirm that they have provided a US Agent for
Service in the USAS Portal.
CURRENT CERTIFICATE HOLDERS WITH ONLY A FOREIGN ADDRESS
ON RECORD AND NO AVAILABLE UNITED STATES ADDRESS:
Designate your US Agent for Service by visiting the USAS
Portal.
Airmen may be required to provide their FAA Tracking
Number (FTN) and date of birth (DOB). An Existing Certificate holder's
FTN can be found via Airmen Online Services, MedXPress, or on
their IACRA user console.
CURRENT CERTIFICATE HOLDERS WITH ONLY A FOREIGN ADDRESS
ON RECORD – UPDATING TO A UNITED STATES ADDRESS OR ADDNG A UNITED STATES
ADDRESS:
Please visit Airmen Online Services.
Registration with the USAS Portal would not be required since the Registry will
now have a United States address.
IMPORTANT: Updating your address information in your
IACRA profile will NOT transfer the address information to the Registry unless
an application is being submitted to the Registry for a new certificate or
rating. If you are only updating your address and not applying for a
certificate or rating, the address update must be reported through Airmen
Online Services.
CURRENT CERTIFICATE HOLDERS WITH A FOREIGN ADDRESS AND
ALSO A UNITED STATES ADDRESS ON RECORD:
The US Agent for Service registration process does not
apply. No updates are required.
NEW APPLICANTS OR CERTIFICATE HOLDERS ADDING TO AN
EXISTING CERTIFICATE – COMPLETING AN APPLICATION IN IACRA:
When completing a new application in IACRA, if you
provide a United States address as well as a foreign address, nothing
additional will be needed.
If you only provide a foreign address, IACRA will link
you to the USAS Portal to allow you to enter your US Agent for Service
designation. The USAS designation information will not appear in
your IACRA profile or on your Airmen Online Services account.
