The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) now requires pilots, other flight crewmembers, and mechanics with foreign addresses to designate a U.S. Agent for Service under 14 CFR Part 3, Subpart C 3.301-3.303. This new requirement applies to 14 CFR parts 47, 61, 63, 65, 67, & 107.
To comply with the new regulation, any affected certificate holder must designate a “U.S. Agent for Service,” which is an agent authorized to receive official FAA correspondence on their behalf, including legal notices, emergency orders, and other critical documents. This ensures timely delivery and compliance with FAA requirements.
