U.S. Agents for Service (USAS) Portal

Document
Privacy - FAA -USAS Portal - PIA - 2025.pdf

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) developed the U.S. Agent for Service (USAS) Portal to implement the “U.S. Agents for Service on Individuals with Foreign Addresses Who Hold or Apply for Certain Certificates, Ratings, or Authorizations” final rule. The FAA requires individuals with foreign addresses and no physical address in the U.S. on file to designate a U.S. Agent who can receive FAA documents on their behalf. The designated U.S. Agent helps ensure the timely and cost-effective delivery of important FAA documents, facilitating the prompt service of process and other time-sensitive communications for individuals. The designated U.S. Agent can be an individual or a Service Agent company.  For the purposes of this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), the designated U.S. Agent is referred to as Individuals. The FAA is publishing this PIA in accordance with Section 208 of the E-Government Act of 2002 because the USAS Portal collects Personally Identifiable Information (PII) about individuals designated as U.S. Agent.
