## Summary

If you live outside the U.S. and want certain FAA certificates or ratings, you now have more time to pick a U.S. agent to handle official papers for you. The deadline to name this agent has been pushed from January 6, 2025, to April 2, 2025. This change helps you avoid rushing and keeps things smooth without extra costs.

## Abstract

On October 8, 2024, the FAA published a final rule that will require individuals with foreign addresses and no U.S. physical address on file with the FAA who apply for certain certificates, ratings, or authorizations to designate a U.S. agent for service. This final rule extends the deadline for those individuals to designate a U.S. agent for service from January 6, 2025, to April 2, 2025. This final rule does not apply to individuals with foreign addresses who currently hold certain certificates, ratings, or authorizations, as the compliance date for those individuals continues to be July 7, 2025.
