Which statement is true regarding FAA notification after updating a permanent address?

• A. It must be completed within 60 days
• B. It must be completed within 30 days
• C. It is not required
• D. It must be completed before renewal

Answer: (B)

You must notify the FAA of a permanent address change within 30 days. This keeps your airman records current so important mail—like license or medical certificate notices and renewal reminders—reaches you reliably. Waiting longer could result in missed communications or issues with your certification. It isn’t 60 days, it isn’t optional, and it isn’t only required before renewal—the rule is a 30-day window after the move. You can usually update the address online through the FAA’s airman registry or by contacting your local FSDO.
