It’s very important for aircraft owners in Canada to register their airplane with the Civil Aviation agency of Transport Canada. In order for someone to be eligible to register an aircraft in the Canadian Aviation Registry, even if it is shared, they have to be a Canadian citizen, a Canadian resident, or a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada. Let’s take a look at how to join the registry and how to interact with it.

Canadian Aviation Registry Forms

Any aircraft owner will tell you just how important it is to get your registration in place before flying. It’s vital, after all, to make sure your aircraft is properly registered with the national aviation authorities so that it’s operating in rule and in accordance with the relevant regulations. The process to register your aircraft is not difficult, but it does require a fair attention to detail. The bulk of the process will involve submitting the corresponding forms to Transport Canada, which you will find readily available here on our platform. Joining the Canadian Aviation Registry is fairly simple once you have the required documents on you. We make submitting the forms to Transport Canada as easy as possible.

Updating Your Registration

There are many reasons for which you might end up having to update your aircraft registration. You might need to make sure your address is up to date, for example, or you might need to add an owner to the official registry. If you are adding an owner to the aircraft in question, you will need to use the form for a change of ownership, even if you aren’t fully transferring the aircraft to someone else. Similarly to how your car is registered to your home address, your aircraft will also need to have a registered address attached to it.  The necessary forms for both of these processes can be found here on our menu. Updating your entry in the Canadian Aviation Registry has never been easier. 

Consulting the Registry

Now, the whole point of the registry is that it holds information, right? This one in particular is not just for official purposes, but it will also have readily available information for users to consult. If you are looking for some quick current information about a specific aircraft, then you will want to go to the aircraft registration query system that is available on the Transport Canada website. This will be a pretty straightforward process and will give you the information you need.

National Aviation Registration

Now, we all know that filing for any sort of bureaucratic application can quickly become quite a nightmare if you’re dealing with uncooperative government agencies. That is why we at the National Aviation Registration are here to give you a hand. Our platform has every form relevant to the aircraft documentation processes, making it easy for you to not just find all the Canadian Aviation Registry forms, but also to fill them out and submit them to Transport Canada. If you need help at any step in the process, all you have to do is give us a call at 1-800-998-3527 or email us at info@canadianaircraftregistry.ca. We’ll make sure you get the assistance you need.

Are you looking to get your Canadian aircraft registration done so that you don’t have to worry about it anymore? Or, alternatively, have you registered your aircraft and aren’t sure what happens next? Aircraft registration, like aircraft maintenance, is ongoing. It’s not something that you’re ever really “done with,” unless you’re done with flying the airplane itself. Here at our site, we have all of the forms that you might need throughout the life of owning your airplane. 

Initial Canadian Aircraft Registration 

If you’re going to fly an aircraft in Canada, you need this registration. Full stop. There’s no way around it, particularly not if you’re going to be in Canada for some time. Don’t let that language scare you off, however: it’s easier than it might seem. If you go to our homepage, you don’t have to look for the initial registration form: it’s right there in the middle of our site. Just fill that out and send it in, we’ll make sure it gets to where it needs to go fast. In fact, if you want to expedite the process even further, you can choose “rush processing.” We know that some of our customers need to be at the top of the queue, and we can make that happen for you. 

Registration As Times Change

Have you bought an aircraft from someone else and need to get it registered in your name? Then, the right thing to do is to go to our “Change of Ownership – Aircraft” form. Did you move from the home you lived in when you initially registered your aircraft? If that’s the case, then our “Change of Address” form can help you to stay in compliance with the authorities. Alternatively, perhaps you’ve gotten to the point where it’s time to move on from your aircraft. Should that be the case, we can help in many ways, such as making it easier to de-register your aircraft. 

A New Form 

In our modern, digital age, you can fill out the form for a Certificate of Registration online quickly and easily. However, what you can’t do is just get by with having a digital copy of that form. You need to have an actual, physical copy of this form on your aircraft. Just having a picture on your phone, or saved in the cloud, isn’t enough in and of itself. To keep you in compliance, you can buy a replacement through our site. 

Assistance with Forms 

When you fill out these forms, it’s natural to feel like you’re on your own, that there’s no one to help you. However, that’s not the case. If you have any questions about any aspect of these forms, (such as which ones to fill out, which are the best fit for your aircraft, and so forth) we can help. In fact, if you want someone to walk you through the process, a member of our trained staff would be happy to help there, too. For more, visit our site or call (800) 998-3527.

When summer arrives in Canada, aviation often sees a sharp uptick in activity. Pilots take to the skies for recreation, sightseeing, training, and work-related travel. However, before many aircraft take off, they must meet the regulatory requirements established by Transport Canada. Chief among those requirements is inclusion in the Canadian Aircraft Registry.

canadian aviation registry

At the National Aviation Registry, we’ve built a streamlined online portal that makes it easier than ever for aircraft owners, operators, and aviation professionals to apply for registration and stay compliant throughout the year—especially during the busy summer season. 

Whether you’re a first-time applicant or managing a fleet, using our services simplifies the process, saves time, and helps avoid costly penalties.

How We Simplify the Canadian Aircraft Registry Process

Applying to register an aircraft in Canada can be a complicated, multi-step process. Whether you’re registering a new aircraft, transferring ownership, or making administrative updates, the government requires you to complete specific forms accurately and provide supporting documents.

Our portal eliminates many of the traditional headaches associated with this process. Instead of deciphering dense government forms or worrying about mailing in the right paperwork, our system provides you with an easy-to-navigate interface that guides you through each step. You can upload documents, pay applicable fees, and complete your application entirely online.

We also ensure your forms are reviewed for accuracy and completeness before submission, reducing the likelihood of delays or rejections. That’s especially important in summer, when many applicants are in a rush to get airborne and errors can lead to significant scheduling setbacks.

Avoiding the Penalties of Non-Registration

If you’re operating an aircraft that should be registered and is not, you may be subject to substantial penalties. The Aeronautics Act and Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) stipulate that an aircraft must be registered and carry proof of registration on board before it is operated. Failure to comply can lead to enforcement action from Transport Canada, including:

  • Fines ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars depending on the severity of the infraction

  • Suspension or revocation of pilot licenses

  • Grounding of the aircraft

  • Potential legal action for repeat or intentional violations

These penalties can severely disrupt summer plans, especially if you’re using the aircraft for recreational or business purposes during the peak flying season. Registering your aircraft through our portal ensures you’re compliant and protected from enforcement.

Help With All Relevant Summer Forms and Permits

Summer flying often means seasonal changes in how aircraft are used. Whether you’re flying across provinces, participating in aerial work, or using your aircraft for sightseeing tours, you may need to file specific forms to remain compliant. Our portal makes it easier to find, fill out, and submit these key forms.

Here are just a few that our portal helps with:

Civil Aircraft Registry

Civil Aircraft Registry

Application for Certificate of Registration (Form 26-0520)


If you’re registering a new aircraft or re-registering a previously cancelled one, this form is essential. We make the process easier by offering clear guidance on what information is needed, how to submit supporting documents, and what fees apply. This is particularly important during summer, when aircraft transactions often increase and paperwork must be handled quickly.

De-Registration and Export Forms


Summer is also a time when many Canadian aircraft are sold or moved to international locations. If you’re exporting your aircraft or selling it to a foreign buyer, it must be de-registered from the Canadian Aircraft Registry. Our portal facilitates this process by providing the correct forms and guidance on what steps to take to remain compliant throughout the transaction.

Transfer of Ownership


With increased buying and selling of aircraft in summer, quick ownership transfers become crucial. Our portal supports you in filing ownership transfers promptly and ensures that the aircraft remains in good standing throughout the transaction. This avoids lapses in registration that could lead to grounding.

Support for Recreational Pilots and Hobbyists

Many summer flyers are not full-time aviation professionals but private owners using their aircraft for personal enjoyment. These pilots often find themselves overwhelmed by the complexity of the Canadian Aircraft Registry and the associated paperwork. That’s where we come in.

Through our portal, you’ll find easy-to-understand instructions, a user-friendly application experience, and responsive support. Whether you need a Certificate of Registration, a change of address, or help transferring ownership, we make it as straightforward as possible—even if this is your first time navigating Transport Canada’s requirements.

Secure, Remote Access for Seasonal Pilots

If you only operate your aircraft in summer, you may not be based near a Transport Canada office. By using our digital portal, you can complete all required documentation remotely from your phone, tablet, or computer. This is particularly useful for seasonal pilots operating from private airfields, rural areas, or on extended trips.

Rather than printing, scanning, and mailing forms or making in-person visits, everything can be submitted online through our secure system. We even provide email confirmation and tracking so you know when your documentation has been processed and approved.

Our Portal is Designed for Seasonal Demand

Summer is a high-demand time for aviation in Canada, and that includes demand for registration and administrative services. Our portal is built to accommodate this seasonal spike, helping you avoid the long delays that sometimes occur with paper-based systems or overworked government offices.

Our turnaround times are designed with the summer rush in mind. We aim to process and submit your documents efficiently, minimizing the lag between your application and approval so that you can take off sooner.

Ongoing Canadian Aircraft Registry Compliance and Renewal Support

Getting your aircraft onto the Canadian Aircraft Registry is just the first step. Once you’re on the registry, you must remain compliant by keeping your information up to date and renewing as needed. If your registration is set to expire or if you move to a new address, Transport Canada requires you to file updated information.

We make it easier to manage ongoing compliance with tools and reminders that help you stay current. Our system can send alerts for renewals or missing information, so you’re never caught off guard. Summer’s short flying season makes it important to avoid downtime due to paperwork delays, and we’re here to help you stay in the air.

If you plan to operate an aircraft in Canada, getting on the Canadian Aircraft Registry is not optional—it’s a legal requirement. With our help, the process doesn’t have to be a burden. Through our platform, you can apply, update, transfer, and manage your aircraft registration entirely online, with support every step of the way.

Let us help you enjoy the freedom of the skies while remaining fully compliant with Transport Canada regulations.

The process of navigating the Canadian Aircraft Registry can feel daunting, especially for private owners and operators preparing for summer flying. As seasonal flights increase and aviation activity expands across Canada’s skies, there’s a pressing need to ensure that aircraft documentation is accurate, current, and compliant. That’s where the National Aviation Registry comes in.

This online portal streamlines the process, helping aircraft owners meet their regulatory obligations without unnecessary complications or delays.

With summer often acting as a catalyst for increased aviation activity—be it recreational flights, remote charters, or commercial operations—timely registration and permitting are more important than ever. 

These are some of the ways the National Aviation Registry supports aircraft owners and operators in managing their paperwork and maintaining active, legal status on the Canadian Aircraft Registry.

Simplifying Aircraft Registration Before the Summer Season

One of the most common services aircraft owners require before summer begins is registering their aircraft with Transport Canada. This process involves several steps: submitting the appropriate forms, proving ownership, and confirming airworthiness. 

The National Aviation Registry makes this easier by offering an intuitive online interface where users can fill out and submit all relevant documentation directly.

Instead of sorting through pages of Transport Canada forms and requirements, users can complete streamlined forms that correspond with their specific situation. Whether registering a new aircraft, updating ownership details, or requesting a replacement Certificate of Registration, National Aviation Registry ensures the process is direct and manageable. 

This saves time, reduces the risk of rejected applications, and helps owners prepare for the upcoming season with confidence.

Managing Changes in Ownership Prompted by the Summer Market

Aircraft sales and transfers tend to increase in the months leading up to and during summer, as more operators look to enter or exit the aviation space. With that comes the need to properly record changes in ownership with Transport Canada to keep the Canadian Aircraft Registry accurate and compliant.

National Aviation Registry provides tools and support for aircraft buyers and sellers to complete ownership transfers quickly and efficiently. The portal makes it possible to submit Bill of Sale documents, Certificate of Registration amendments, and other change-of-ownership forms in one place. This ensures the Registry reflects the most current ownership information, a critical factor in insurance coverage, flight legality, and overall aviation safety.

Handling Aircraft Address and Status Updates in Time for Summer

Before embarking on a busy season of flying, it’s important that aircraft details in the Canadian Aircraft Registry reflect accurate contact and operational information. If an aircraft has been relocated, if the address of the owner has changed, or if the aircraft’s purpose of use has shifted, these changes need to be reported.

Through the National Aviation Registry portal, users can submit change-of-address and status update forms directly. This eliminates the need for mailed paperwork and long processing times, ensuring that an aircraft’s file is up-to-date before the summer flying season ramps up.

Offering Ongoing Support for Aircraft Owners During Summer Travel

Even after initial registration or certification is complete, aircraft owners may need support throughout the summer. This can include reprinting certificates, submitting updates related to flight permits, or responding to Transport Canada inquiries. With its user-focused system and timely submission options, National Aviation Registry offers an efficient way to handle those needs.

Rather than searching for the correct forms or trying to track deadlines manually, users can rely on the portal to manage these tasks smoothly. This ongoing assistance helps ensure that aircraft remain compliant during peak usage, reducing the risk of interruptions caused by documentation issues.

Keeping Aircraft on the Canadian Aircraft Registry Year After Year

Summer flying is often just the start. For many aircraft owners, maintaining long-term registry compliance is equally important. Annual renewals, consistent record-keeping, and timely updates are all essential to staying in good standing with Transport Canada.

National Aviation Registry provides the tools and reminders necessary to help users manage those obligations. From recurring paperwork submissions to guidance on new regulations, the portal offers an organized approach that removes confusion from the process. With automated systems and helpful instructions, aircraft owners can stay focused on flying while the administrative side is handled with clarity and speed.

A Reliable Canadian Aircraft Registry Resource for Summer Readiness and Beyond

The Canadian Aircraft Registry serves as a foundation for safe, legal aviation in Canada. Getting onto that registry—and staying there—requires accurate documentation and an understanding of regulatory requirements. National Aviation Registry plays a valuable role in helping aircraft owners prepare for summer activity and meet the seasonal demands of the aviation industry.

Whether you’re registering an aircraft for the first time, requesting a flight permit for a specific operation, or updating your contact information, National Aviation Registry offers the structure and support to make it easier. 

For aircraft owners and operators looking to navigate the Canadian Aircraft Registry with less stress and more efficiency, especially in the busy summer months, this platform delivers practical, effective solutions.

Owning an aircraft in Canada comes with responsibilities, and one of the most important is ensuring proper registration. The Canadian aircraft registry is a legal requirement for all aircraft operating in Canadian airspace, whether they’re private planes, commercial jets, or ultra-light aircraft.

National Aviation Registration provides an efficient online portal to simplify the registration process, making compliance easier than ever. Here are seven compelling reasons to register your aircraft and keep your documentation up to date.

Compliance with Canadian Aviation Regulations

Transport Canada mandates that all aircraft must be registered before they can legally fly in Canadian airspace. Failure to comply can result in fines, grounding, or even seizure of the aircraft. By registering through us, you ensure full adherence to federal regulations. National Aviation Registration streamlines the process, helping you submit the correct forms and documentation without unnecessary delays.

Simplified Registration Process – A Step-by-Step Breakdown

One of the biggest challenges aircraft owners face is navigating the paperwork required for registration. Traditional methods involve mailing forms, waiting for processing, and risking errors that can lead to rejections. National Aviation Registration eliminates these hurdles with a fully digital system designed for efficiency and accuracy.

How It Works:

  • Online Forms: Instead of dealing with physical paperwork, you fill out digital forms tailored to your aircraft type (standard or ultra-light).
  • Guided Assistance: The portal provides clear instructions at every stage, ensuring you provide the correct details, such as:
    • Aircraft make, model, and serial number
    • Proof of ownership (bill of sale, manufacturer’s certificate)
    • Applicant contact information
  • Instant Submission: Once completed, the forms are submitted electronically, reducing processing times significantly compared to mail-in applications.
  • Real-Time Updates: Track the status of your application online, so you’re never left wondering about its progress.

This streamlined approach minimizes errors and ensures your registration is processed as quickly as possible, getting you into the air without unnecessary delays.

Easy Ultra-Light Aircraft Registration

Ultra-light aircraft have specific registration requirements, and missing a step can delay your ability to fly. National Aviation Registration provides a dedicated form for ultra-light aircraft, ensuring all necessary details—such as manufacturer information, model, and ownership proof—are correctly submitted. The online system makes it easy to complete the process without the back-and-forth often associated with paper applications.

Hassle-Free Ownership Transfers

Buying or selling an aircraft requires updating the aircraft registry to reflect the new ownership. National Aviation Registration assists with the transfer process, ensuring all legal requirements are met. Proper registration updates protect both buyers and sellers, preventing disputes and ensuring the aircraft’s operational status remains uninterrupted.

Avoid Costly Penalties and Grounding

Operating an unregistered aircraft can lead to significant fines and operational restrictions. Keeping your registration current ensures compliance and avoids unnecessary penalties. National Aviation Registration helps you stay on top of renewals and documentation, reducing the risk of accidental lapses that could ground your aircraft.

Secure and Accessible Documentation – Protecting Your Investment

Once your aircraft is registered, maintaining organized and accessible records is crucial. The aircraft registry serves as an official record of ownership and airworthiness, but managing these documents manually can be cumbersome. National Aviation Registration’s online system provides a secure, centralized hub for all your aircraft documentation.

Key Benefits of Digital Documentation:

  • Instant Access: Retrieve your registration certificates, permits, and ownership records anytime, anywhere.
  • Secure Storage: All documents are stored electronically with encryption, reducing the risk of loss, damage, or theft compared to physical copies.
  • Simplified Transactions: Whether you’re applying for financing, leasing your aircraft, or dealing with insurance providers, having digital proof of registration speeds up the process.
  • Easy Updates: Need to make changes to your registration (e.g., address updates, modifications)? The online system allows for quick amendments without resubmitting everything from scratch.

By keeping your records digitally organized, you ensure compliance while also making future administrative tasks—such as renewals or sales—much smoother.

Support for Commercial Operators

Commercial aircraft operators face stricter regulatory scrutiny, making proper registration even more critical. National Aviation Registration assists businesses in maintaining compliance, whether registering a new fleet aircraft or renewing existing documentation. The streamlined process helps commercial operators avoid downtime and maintain seamless operations.

Keeping Your Registration Up to Date

Maintaining your place in the Canadian aircraft registry isn’t just a one-time task—it requires periodic updates and renewals. Changes in ownership, modifications to the aircraft, or even a simple address update must be reported to Transport Canada. National Aviation Registration’s services extend beyond initial registration, offering support for amendments, renewals, and other necessary filings.

By using an online portal like National Aviation Registration, aircraft owners save time, reduce errors, and ensure full compliance with Canadian aviation laws. Whether you’re a private pilot, ultra-light enthusiast, or commercial operator, staying on the registry is the best way to protect your investment and enjoy uninterrupted flying.

Registering your aircraft doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right tools and support, you can easily navigate the Canadian aircraft registry and focus on what truly matters—taking to the skies with confidence. You can do that and more through our site.

As we take flight into the New Year, it’s crucial for aircraft owners in Canada to ensure their aircraft registration is up-to-date. An expired registration can lead to fines, grounding, and even insurance issues. This blog post explains why aircraft registration expiration matters, how to renew your registration, and how National Aviation Registration can simplify the process.

Why Aircraft Registration Expiration Matters

In Canada, aircraft registration is valid for a specific period, and renewing it before expiration is not just a formality—it’s a critical requirement for legal and safe flying. Failing to renew can lead to a cascade of consequences:  

  • Fines and Penalties: Operating an aircraft with an expired registration can result in hefty fines imposed by Transport Canada. These fines can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars, depending on the severity of the violation. In some cases, repeated or deliberate violations could even lead to legal prosecution.
  • Grounded Aircraft: Transport Canada has the authority to ground your aircraft if your registration is not current. This means you will have no permisson for flying until you renew the registration. Imagine planning a long-awaited trip or needing your aircraft for urgent business travel, only to be grounded due to an oversight!
  • Insurance Invalidation: Most aircraft insurance policies explicitly require a valid registration. If your registration expires, your insurance coverage could be voided. This leaves you exposed to substantial financial risk in case of an accident, damage to your aircraft, or third-party liability claims.
  • Safety Implications: An expired registration could indicate that the aircraft has not undergone necessary inspections or maintenance as required by regulations. This raises serious safety concerns, not only for the pilot and any passengers but also for the public. Flying an aircraft that doesn’t meet safety standards puts everyone at risk.

In 2023, a pilot in Ontario was fined $2,500 for operating an aircraft with an expired registration. The pilot was unaware that the registration had lapsed and was caught during a routine ramp inspection. This case highlights the importance of diligently tracking your registration expiration date and taking timely action to renew.

How to Renew Your Aircraft Registration

Renewing your aircraft registration doesn’t have to be a complicated process.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the renewal with ease:

  1. Check Your Expiration Date: Locate your aircraft registration certificate. The expiration date is clearly indicated on the certificate. Make a note of this date well in advance to avoid any last-minute rushes.
  2. Gather Required Documents: Before you begin the renewal process, ensure you have all the necessary documents. This typically includes:
    • Your current aircraft registration certificate. * Proof of airworthiness: This document confirms that your aircraft meets Transport Canada’s safety standards.   
    • Any other documents specific to your aircraft type or operation. (e.g., if your aircraft is modified, you might need to provide documentation related to the modifications).
  3. Complete the Renewal Application: You can easily renew your registration online by using the experienced services of National Aviation Registration. Ensure that all information provided in the application is accurate and up-to-date. Double-check for any errors before submitting.
  4. Pay the Renewal Fee: The renewal fee varies depending on the type of aircraft. You can typically pay online using a credit card or other secure payment methods.   
  5. Receive Your Renewed Registration: Once your application is processed and approved, you will receive your renewed registration certificate. This may be sent electronically or by mail, depending on your chosen method of application.

Tips for a Smooth Renewal:

  • Start the process early: Don’t wait until the last minute to renew your registration. Starting early gives you ample time to gather documents and avoid potential delays.
  • Keep records organized: Maintain a file with all your aircraft registration documents for easy access.

The process to register your aircraft will be fairly simple. You have to gather a few documents, fill out a few forms, and submit them all to Transport Canada, all of which you can do through our platform here at the National Aviation Registration. However, the initial aircraft registration process will differ slightly when the aeroplane that you are registering is imported. Since these procedures can often become confusing amidst getting all the right paperwork and submitting it accordingly, we can provide you with a quick guide on what the differences are between registering Canadian aircraft and registering imported ones.

How to Register Domestic Aircraft

When it comes to regular aircraft registration, it’s always good to remember that the aeroplane in question can’t have been previously registered. For initial registration, this needs to be a domestic aircraft that has no active registration with Transport Canada. In these cases, you will need to submit the application available here on our website, which will require you to fill out the initial registration form you will find on our home page. This will involve inputting all the relevant information about the aircraft, including the manufacturer, the model, and the serial number, as well as your personal information as an applicant. Don’t worry, our site is continuously protected with SSL encryption meant to safeguard your personal information. Once you are done with the information, all you will need to do is pay for the application fee and your registration will have been submitted.

How to Register Foreign Aircraft

Now, if you are registering imported aircraft in Canada, the process is going to be different. This process will apply whenever the aeroplane in question wasn’t built by a Canadian manufacturer and you are purchasing it, either used or new, while abroad. You might have imported the aircraft through a certified retailer or bought it used from a foreign proprietor. Either way, you want to make sure that you register it using the form that is specific to foreign-built aeroplanes. The application in and of itself is going to be very similar to that of the initial registration, but it will also involve showing proof that the aircraft’s prior registration abroad was formally deleted and that it satisfies the Canadian requirements for airworthiness. You will also need to provide proof of ownership, be that a bill of sale, a lease agreement, or something along those lines.

Initial Aircraft Registration

Are you purchasing your aeroplane directly from a Canadian manufacturer? Or are you buying it used from a foreign owner? Either way, you are going to need to register it with Transport Canada in order to be able to fly it in Canadian airspace, which will require you to submit some forms. We at the National Aviation Registration can guide you through all these processes and provide you with all the necessary forms to do so. And remember that, if at any point you need help with your applications, you can call us at (800) 998-3527 or email us at info@canadianaircraftregistry.ca

No one wants to lose any sort of official document given how complicated the aftermath can be, but we at the National Aircraft Registration want to make sure this process isn’t that complex. If you have lost aircraft registration, here’s how to replace it promptly.

What Happened to Your Certificate of Registration?

First of all, we are sorry something happened to your aircraft registration. Losing official documents is always all sorts of inconvenient given the likely bureaucratic procedures you will have to go through in order to recover them. You are probably wondering in what situations you will have to go through the trouble of recovering official copies of documents. Definitely when you lose them, of course, but that’s not the only situation in which you might need to do so. For example, if the hard copy of your certificate is mutilated or damaged in some way, regardless of how minor it is, you will have to replace it with a new one. It’s important that your copy is always in perfect condition for it to be valid, so take care of it.

Replace Your Lost Aircraft Registration

Regardless of whether the certificate is missing or damaged, the process will be the same. Now, what should you do about your lost aircraft registration? You will need to apply for a replacement in order to restore its validity. The good news is that the registration itself still exists within the Canadian aircraft registry database, so there’s no real need for you to go through the whole process of applying for registration all over again. Instead, there is a specific process meant to help those whose registration is still valid easily receive a new copy of their certificate of registration. The process will have a fee, though, but it won’t be as expensive as getting your initial registration, so don’t worry.

What Information Will You Have to Provide?

The thought of having to fill out a form is always enough to stress oneself out, right? Who knows what sorts of information you will have to compile and provide! How long will that even take? Well, don’t worry, because it doesn’t have to be that hard. The replacement form is actually quite brief, so you can be done with it in no time. All you need to do is fill out your contact information and some straightforward specs about the aircraft in question. Then, select what document you are replacing (there are choices beyond the aircraft certificate of registration, so be sure to pick the right one) and declare your standing in regards to the registration. Once you submit this and pay the fee, you will be on your way to replace your lost aircraft registration.

Canadian Aircraft Documentation

If you are carrying out any sort of process regarding aircraft documentation and need proper guidance, quick processing, and easy access to all relevant forms, you can count on us here at the National Aviation Registration. Should you need some help with any of it, don’t hesitate to use our website chat, fill out our contact form, or give us a call at 800-998-3527 and we’ll answer your questions in no time.

The export airworthiness certificate will be at the heart of the process of exporting a Canadian aircraft, but it will not be the entirety of it. A lot of people get lost along the way by thinking that this certificate is everything they need when it comes to exporting the aircraft. However, this is merely one of the requirements throughout the overall process, which will also involve removing the registration in question from the Canadian registry. If you have doubts about exactly what an export process like this will entail, we can provide you with a brief overview of the necessary requirements.

The Process to Export Canadian Aircraft

When exporting an aircraft from Canada to a different country, there is a specific process that is necessary to follow in order for everything to be done in order. It’s all very specific, so allow us to guide you through some of the details of the process. In order to export the aircraft, you will have to:

  • Remove the Canadian nationality and registration marks from the exterior of the aircraft.
  • Remove the aircraft mark plate, if applicable.
  • Request in writing that the Civil Aviation agency of Transport Canada deletes the registration of your aircraft through the de-registration form that you can find here on our website.
  • Remove the aircraft Mode S Transponder address code and, should it be required of your situation, apply for an export airworthiness certificate.
  • Provide the aircraft’s specific documentation with the request.

What Is an Export Airworthiness Certificate?

As you can see, part of the process to export Canadian aircraft will be an export airworthiness certificate, which is a document that will state that the aircraft in question is, in fact, suited for use in the country where it’s going to be registered now. In order to receive it, you will need to provide your contact information, the name and address of the exporter, as well as that of the buyer, and the aircraft information, including data about the engines, propellers, and manufacturer. Once you receive the export airworthiness certificate, you will be able to continue the export process, but it’s not exactly done for, as the prior requirement list might indicate. Mind you, while a lot of people believe that this is what is necessary to export the aircraft, it is only a component of the process rather than the entirety.

Getting Everything Ready for an Export

As you can see, there is a lot of work that goes into preparing Canadian aircraft for export. The bulk of it is going to be gathering the necessary documents for the process, even more so than the logistics of actually exporting the aircraft to the country of its new registration. Whether you are deleting the registration for export or getting an export airworthiness certificate to move it to a different country, we at the National Aviation Registration can guide you through the process and provide you with all the necessary forms to do so. Just know that if at any point you need help with your applications, you can call us at (800) 998-3527 or email us at info@canadianaircraftregistry.ca
