Report a Deceased Airman

The following are the procedures to report a deceased airman:

For a deceased airman, email or mail a signed letter, include the deceased airman's full name, date of birth or certificate number. This information is required to ensure changes are made to the correct airman record. If available, provide proof of death such as a death certificate, obituary, or coroner’s report. Please note deceased airman may continue to receive FAA mailings and publications for a few months after the airman's record is updated, these mailings will eventually stop.
