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.
