Description

This advisory circular (AC) provides individuals with guidance on how to comply with Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) sections 3.301 through 3.303. In accordance with these sections, individuals with a foreign address and no U.S. physical address of record on file with the FAA, who hold or apply for certain certificates, ratings, or authorizations, must designate a U.S. agent for service of FAA documents. This AC explains an acceptable means to designate a U.S. agent for service, including instructions on how to electronically certify the U.S. agent designation, change U.S. agent information, and submit a new U.S. agent designation. This AC should be used in combination with the appropriate FAA user guides referenced throughout.
