FAA Delays Enforcement of Electronic Registration Certificate Rule to March 20, 2025

Rule · Mar 11, 2025

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a notice announcing enforcement discretion regarding the final rule titled “Electronic Issuance of Aircraft Registration and Dealer Certificates.” This document, published in the Federal Register as 2025-03852, clarifies the agency’s approach to compliance deadlines for regulated entities.

As of March 11, 2025, the FAA will not take enforcement action against entities that fail to comply with the rule’s requirements immediately. The rule was originally published on January 17, 2025, at 90 FR 5567. Under this new policy, the enforcement deadline is delayed until March 20, 2025. This adjustment applies to the provisions outlined in Docket No. FAA-2024-2765 and Amendment No. 47-36.

The rule primarily affects Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), specifically Part 47, which governs aircraft registration. The notice confirms that the enforcement period for these registration and dealer certificate provisions will run through the specified date. No effective date for the rule itself was provided in this specific notice, nor were any comment deadlines listed alongside this enforcement announcement.
