The Aircraft Registration Branch maintains registration records on individual aircraft and also serves as a repository for airworthiness documents received from FAA field offices.

Aircraft registration records contain documents related to an aircraft's registration history such as applications for aircraft registration, evidence of ownership, security agreements, mechanics liens, lien releases, leases, lease terminations, and N Number Changes.  The Airworthiness portion of the file contains items such as applications for airworthiness, copies of airworthiness certificates, major repair and alteration reports, and related items.

Copies of these records may be ordered on Paper or CD ROM.  There is one aircraft record per CD which is viewable using Adobe Acrobat Reader.  The most current Acrobat Reader will be included on the CD.

The records for aircraft removed from the U.S. Civil Aircraft Register prior to 1984 are usually paper files, and in most instances have been sent to Federal Storage.  These records may be retrieved, and are available on paper only.

Copies of aircraft records are available to the public subject to the following fees:

    CD ROM

$6.25 per CD ROM - one aircraft record per CD
Plus, if required
$3.00 to certify the record is true and complete, generally only required for court cases.

    PAPER

$2.00 Search Fee, charged for each aircraft record requested.
Plus
$0.25 for photocopy of first page of records on paper, and
$0.05 for each successive paper page.  An average paper record has 76 pages.
Plus, as appropriate
$2.00 if the record must be recalled from Federal Storage.
$3.00 to certify the record is true and complete, generally only required for court cases.

A billing letter will be sent with the requested aircraft records.

There is no charge for copies provided to government offices for use in official duties.

Requests for copies of an aircraft's records may be sent to the Aircraft Registration Branch by letter, by fax to 405-954-3548, or  Online.

Requests from outside the U.S. must be in writing and accompanied by a check or money order made payable to the Federal Aviation Administration in U.S. funds sufficient to cover the projected fee.
