Change Releasability Status of your Mailing Address
The Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st
Century, in addition to other statutory requirements, requires us to make airmen certificate
information available to the public. Airmen meeting the active criteria are sent a notification of
these requirements, and are given the opportunity to withhold their address information from
release. If your address appears in this data base and you would like to remove it, or if it does
not appear and you would like to add it, you may write or email us your preference. You may provide
us with your preference at any time.
When corresponding with us, please be sure to include your full name, address, date of birth, and
certificate number, so that we may properly identify your record. Send written inquiries to:

Change Your Airman Certificate Number
Effective June 1st, 2002, all original airmen certificates will be issued with a unique certificate
number. The Airmen Certification Branch will no longer be assigning Social Security Numbers (SSN) as
the certificate numbers.
Airman certificates presently using the SSN as a certificate number will continue to be issued with
that number unless the airman requests a unique number.
If you hold an airman certificate that uses your SSN as your certificate number and you would like
our office to change that certificate number to a unique number other than your SSN, or you would
like our organization to remove your SSN completely from our official records, please complete,
sign, and submit this form (Click here to download a form to change your airman certificate number) along with all
pertinent information to the mailing address below or create an account and remove your SSN as your certificate number.
