§ 03 — The certificate

What a dealer certificate is.

A Dealer’s Aircraft Registration Certificate lets a business operate aircraft it holds for sale without re-registering each one.

01 14 CFR §47, Subpart C

Issued to businesses selling aircraft

The FAA issues dealer certificates to manufacturers and dealers substantially engaged in manufacturing or selling aircraft. The certificate stands in for individual registration while an aircraft is held for sale.

02 12-month validity

Renewed every year

Certificates expire 12 months after issue. We track issue and expiration dates daily — expired certificates drop out of this directory automatically on the next import.

03 Matched to the registry

Fleets, from the registration file

We match each certificate holder against current FAA registrations to show the aircraft on a dealer’s certificate right now, plus their acquisitions over time.
