Federal Aviation Regulations on Reporting Change of Address

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) records pilots', aircraft mechanics' and air traffic controllers' names, addresses and telephone numbers in an electronic database. The agency seeks to keep accurate and up-to-date security information on airmen. The FAA requires pilots, aircraft mechanics and air traffic controllers to report a change of address.

FAR Part 61.60
- The FAA, in Federal Aviation Regulation part 61.60, requires that pilots report a change of permanent mailing address within 30 days of moving. Note that this only applies to permanent address changes: a temporary move for college or travel does not count. A pilot cannot use the privileges of his certificate unless he complies with this regulation.
FAR Part 65.21
- FAR part 65.21 is a similar regulation that applies to airman other than flight crew members, such as air traffic controllers and aircraft mechanics.
Methods
- According to FAR part 61.60 and FAR part 65.21, airmen must notify the FAA of the change via certified mail by mailing a change of address form to the FAA. Airmen can download this form from the FAA's website.
