If you're an FAA-certified pilot, mechanic, or drone operator currently residing outside the United States, there's an urgent regulatory updateĀ you need to act onābefore July 7, 2025.
šØ Why You Need a U.S. Agent for Service (USAS)
As part of a rule finalized on October 8, 2024, the FAA now requires all certificate holders without a U.S. address of record to designate a U.S. Agent for Service (USAS). This change ensures that critical safety notices, compliance documents, and time-sensitive correspondenceĀ can still be delivered efficientlyāeven if you live abroad.
The FAA explains:
āThis rule facilitates the FAAās ability to accomplish prompt and cost-effective service of process and service of other safety-critical or time-sensitive documents to individuals abroad through service on their U.S. agents.ā
Without a designated U.S. agent, certificate holders risk missing essential FAA communicationsāpotentially jeopardizing their status and career.
š Who Is Affected by the Rule?
This requirement applies to current and future holders of FAA certificates issued under:
Part 47Ā ā Aircraft Registration
Part 61Ā ā Pilot Certification
Part 63Ā ā Flight Crew Members (Other than Pilots)
Part 65Ā ā Airmen Other Than Flight Crew (e.g., A&P Mechanics)
Part 67Ā ā Medical Certification
Part 107Ā ā Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS ā Drones)
If you already holdĀ a certificate under these Parts and live abroad, you must designate a USAS by July 7, 2025. If you are applyingĀ for a certificate, the designation was required as of January 6, 2025.
