For 8710-1 users – You only need to enter a Mailing Address if you want your certificate mailed to a location other than your Residential Address. If you enter a Mailing Address, this address will be printed on the permanent airman certificate instead of the Residential Address. On the 8710-1, it will be displayed in Section IE2 and on your Temporary Certificate instead of the Residential Address.

  Here is an example of a user who may have both a Residential and Mailing Address:

E1. Residential Address E2. Mailing Address
115 NW 16th Street P.O. Box 1234
Norman, OK 73169 Oklahoma City, OK 73071

16.  Special Mailing Address

You only need to enter a Special Mailing Address if your Special Mailing Address is different from your permanent Residential Address or Mailing Address. One example of when a special mailing address can be used is when international students request their certificate(s) to be “special mailed” to their flight school address. Please note when any certificate is special mailed, it will take up to 2 weeks longer for the certificate to arrive in the mail, this includes FED EX, etc.

Only your Residential Address (or Mailing Address, if entered) will be printed on your permanent certificate.

Here is an example of a user who may have both a Residential Address and a Special Mailing Address

E1. Residential Address  ----- I request the certificate to be special mailed to:

115 NW 16th Street 3456 SW 90th Street
