Why might a foreign FAA certificate holder need a U.S. Agent for Service?

FAA rules can require covered certificate holders and applicants with a foreign address of record and no U.S. physical address of record to designate a U.S. Agent for Service so FAA documents can be served in the United States.

What does Aero Agent provide?

Aero Agent provides U.S. Agent for Service details, FAA mail receipt, scanning, alerts, forwarding options, storage, disposal, and secure portal access for international FAA certificate holders.

Does Aero Agent complete the FAA USAS designation for customers?

No. FAA guidance says the covered individual completes the USAS designation. Aero Agent provides the U.S. agent details and mail-handling service customers can use when completing the designation themselves.
