PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT: Privacy Act of 1974 (PL 93-579) requires that users of this form be informed of the
authority which allows the solicitation of the information and whether disclosure of such information is mandatory or
voluntary; the principal purpose for which the information is intended to be used; the routine uses which may be made
of the information gathered; and the effects, if any, of not providing all or any part of the requested information.
Title 49, United States Code requires the registration of each United States civil aircraft as a prerequisite to its
operation. An aircraft is eligible for registration only: (1) if it is not registered under the laws of any foreign country;
and (2) if it is owned by (a) a citizen of the United States; or (b) an individual citizen of a foreign country who has
lawfully been admitted for permanent residence in the United States; or (c) a corporation lawfully organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States or any State thereof so long as such aircraft is based and primarily used in
the United States; or (d) a governmental unit. Operation of an aircraft that is not registered may subject the operator to a
civil penalty.
This form identifies the aircraft to be registered, and provides the name and permanent address for mailing the
registration certificate. Incomplete submission will prevent or delay issuance of your registration certificate.
The following routine uses are made of the information gathered:
(1) To determine that aircraft are registered in accordance with provisions of the Title 49, United States Code.
(2) To support the investigative efforts of Federal, State and foreign government law enforcement agencies.
(3) To serve as a repository of legal documents used by individuals and title search companies to determine the
legal ownership of an aircraft.
(4) To provide aircraft owners and operators information about potential mechanical defects or unsafe
conditions of their aircraft in the form of airworthiness directives.
(5) To provide supporting information in court cases.
(6) To serve as a data source for management information for production of summary descriptive statistics and
analytical studies in support of agency functions for which the records are collected and maintained.
(7) To respond to general requests from the aviation community or public for statistical information under the
Freedom of Information Act or to locate specific individuals or specific aircraft for accident investigation,
violation, or other safety related requirements.
(8) To provide data for the automated aircraft registration master file.
(9) To provide data for development of the aircraft registration statistical system.
(10) To prepare an aircraft register in electronic media as required by ICAO agreement containing information
on aircraft owners by name, address, N-Number, and type-aircraft, used for internal FAA safety program
purposes and also available to the public (individuals, aviation organizations, direct mail advertisers, state
and local governments, etc.) upon payment of applicable user charges reimbursing the Federal Government
for its costs.
(11) The aircraft records maintained by the Aircraft Registration Branch are public records and are open for
inspection in Room 122 of the Registry Building, Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6425 S Denning,
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Individuals interested in such information may make a personal search of the
records or may avail themselves of the services of a title search company or law firm.
