Can’t find the answer you’re looking for?
Please contact us.

Can I appoint a U.S. Agent for Service for my company or multiple FAA certificate holders under one entity?

Yes, we provide U.S. Agent for Service solutions for both individual certificate holders and organizations. Since company-level requirements can vary significantly, we recommend reaching out to our team to discuss your specific needs. This allows us to provide you with the most appropriate service package for your situation.

Can I use the Valiair U.S. Agent Service for purposes other than FAA compliance?

While our service is specifically designed to ensure FAA compliance for those with a foreign address, many clients use their U.S. Registered Agent address for additional purposes related to Federal Aviation law and formal communications. If you require other aviation-related legal representation or document handling, feel free to discuss your needs with our team, and we can determine if these services are suitable for your case.

How do I cancel the service if I no longer need it?

Cancelling our service is straightforward. Simply reach out to our customer support team, and we will guide you through the cancellation process smoothly. It’s important to note that if you cancel, you must provide the FAA with a new U.S. Registered Agent to stay FAA compliant. We’ll help facilitate the transition if needed.

How do I submit the designation?

Use the official USAS portal: usas.faa.gov. Follow the step-by-step instructions to complete your submission.

How much does Valiair’s FAA U.S. Agent Service cost?

Our service is offered at a stable rate of $75 per year, with no hidden fees. This is our standard pricing, not an introductory offer, and you can count on this price staying the same for the long run.

How quickly will I be alerted about important FAA communications?

For all FAA-related correspondence, we strive to scan and digitally deliver your documents to your secure dashboard within 1 business day. You will receive real-time email notifications to ensure that you stay informed of any critical communications. Quick document processing helps you respond promptly and avoid missing important notices from the FAA.

Our system fulfills the most important security standards, including ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 27701, SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA.

What does Valiair do as my FAA U.S. Agent for Service?

Valiair serves as your official U.S. Agent for Service, meaning we receive FAA legal notices, compliance communications, and official correspondence on your behalf. Once we receive a document from the FAA, we immediately scan and forward it to you via email and our secure online portal. Additionally, we offer physical mail forwarding for important items. This ensures that you never miss an important FAA notice, even if you're based outside the U.S.

What happens if I don’t appoint a FAA U.S. Agent for Service?

If you don’t appoint a U.S. Registered Agent, you risk missing critical communications from the FAA, which could result in serious legal consequences. Failure to comply could lead to certificate suspension, delays in regulatory approvals, or other FAA-related actions. Appointing Valiair as your Registered Agent ensures that all FAA notifications, notices of litigation, and legal documents are handled securely and efficiently.

What information is needed to appoint a U.S. Agent?

You’ll need the agent’s full name, U.S. address, and email address. A phone number and fax (optional) can also be provided.

What is a U.S. Agent for Service and why do I need one?

An U.S. Registered Agent is a designated entity or individual responsible for receiving and forwarding legal documents, FAA-related correspondence, and notices on your behalf. Anyone holding an FAA certificate (e.g., pilots, aircraft owners, aviation businesses) with a foreign address is required to have a U.S. Registered Agent, who acts as the primary contact for all legal and official processes. Without a U.S. address, you won’t be able to legally comply with FAA regulations regarding notifications and process serving.

Why has the FAA started requiring a U.S. Agent for Service for individuals and entities with a foreign address?

As of October 8th, 2024, the FAA issued new regulations mandating that all FAA certificate holders with a foreign address must appoint a U.S. Agent for Service of Process. This applies to pilots, aircraft owners, and other aviation businesses. The purpose of this rule is to ensure that official communication, legal documentation, and important notifications are securely delivered, regardless of the recipient's overseas location, thereby maintaining compliance with FAA standards.
