WASHINGTON, DC – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has extended the duration of aircraft registration certificates from three to seven years, an action which should alleviate delays in the aircraft registration process. All registrations valid on the date of the final rule will be extended to a total registration term of seven years from the date of issuance, notwithstanding the expiration date on the registration certificate. For example, a certificate issued in 2019 will expire in 2026 under the new policy. The final rule took effect January 23, 2023.
