On January 3, 2025, the FAA extended the compliance deadline for applicants with no physical U.S. address to designate a U.S. agent for service. As our readers may recall from prior updates, in October 2024, the FAA issued a final rule requiring individuals holding or applying for certain certificates, ratings, or authorizations to designate a U.S. agent for service of FAA documents. While the initial compliance deadline for applicants without a U.S. address to designate a U.S. agent was January 6, 2025, the deadline is now extended until April 2, 2025. For individuals with only foreign addresses who currently hold certain certificates, ratings, or authorizations, the compliance date remains July 7, 2025.
