The USAS website for U.S. Agent registration will be available by April 2, 2025.

The USAS website is the only acceptable way for individuals to designate a U.S. Agent, per FAA Advisory Circular 3-1.

On October 8, 2024, FAA published U.S. Agents for Service final rule.

On December 30, 2024, the FAA announced that the compliance date for applicants was extended to April 2, 2025. The compliance date for all other individuals remains July 7, 2025.

Individuals who have a foreign address and no U.S. physical address of record on file with the FAA are required to designate a U.S. agent for service if they apply for a certificate, rating, or authorization issued under 14 CFR part 47, 61, 63, 65, 67, or 107 or hold a certificate issued under any of these parts. This requirement applies only to individuals (not entities).

Note: If you do not currently have a U.S. physical address of record and are able to provide one, you may do so through the standard processes for Airmen or Aircraft Owners in lieu of designating a U.S. Agent for Service.

Note: My sources at the FAA NY IFO have informed me that despite many claims by companies and individuals that they are DESIGNATED to offer this service by the FAA, the FAA have not and will not 'DESIGNATE' any such person or company for this purpose. The responsibility is entirely the AIRMAN's.
