The FAA will require individuals with foreign addresses and no U.S. physical address on file with the agency who hold or apply for certain certificates, ratings, or authorizations to designate a U.S. agent for service of related documents. The U.S. agent will receive FAA document service on the certificate holder or applicant's behalf. According to the agency, “This rule facilitates the FAA's ability to accomplish prompt and cost-effective process and service of other safety-critical or time-sensitive documents to individuals abroad through their U.S. agents.” The compliance date is April 2, 2025, for certificate applicants and July 7, 2025, for certificate holders.
