A Heads Up for all holders of Certificated Airmen Licenses

[The Inspector]

If you currently hold ANY Airmen Certificates, the Feds have imposed a cut off date of March 2010 for you to replace your paper wallet certificates with the 'new and improved' Credit Card type certs. After March of next year, unless the cert is newly issued or temporary, your paper cert will not be recognized as valid!! You must submit a written request along with a check or M.O. for $2.00
I found out about this 'OBTW" Oh, by the way-

Contact the FAA by mail @

Airmen Certification Branch
ATTN: AFS-760
P.O. Box 25082
Oklahoma, City, OK. 73125

Thank you, I shall do just that today ...

You can actually go to the FAA website and do it all on line. If you give them permission to access your state's DL database for your picture, it will all be done online. If your pilot's certificate number is also your SS number they won't even charge you the 2.00 to change it ! The new one will show up in the mail a few days later.

Can anyone post a direct link to this area on the FAA website. I find it a bit of a pain to access.

Does this apply to A&P certificates as well?

Does this apply to A&P certificates as well?

Yes.

Like Rick said...I did the SS# thing on line last year. New cert card showed up in a week.

I like the old way better. The Fed do best when they fight amongst themselves and get nothing done.

What if you are not living in the US, or your US drivers license is in a different state than where your FAA address is?

Randy,
Here is what the FAA says
61.60 Change of address.
The holder of a pilot, flight instructor, or ground instructor certificate who has made a change in permanent mailing address may not, after 30 days from that date, exercise the privileges of the certificate unless the holder has notified in writing the FAA, Airman Certification Branch, P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125, of the new permanent mailing address, or if the permanent mailing address includes a post office box number, then the holder's current residential address

if all else fails, contact the FAA rep over there. I know there is such a critter, they are like cockroaches, they are everywhere.

At the bottom of the page, you can create a new account "Request a new account" When you go to update your certificate, they also give you an option to use a passport photo. You don't have to live at the address, it just has to be a mailing address.

FAA site actually worked very well. Very easy to navigate and was done in about five minutes. 2 bucks well spent a year in advance.

before they imposed the change.

Those words are so,so true.

Don't forget the English proficient option as well for the pilot license...
