Aircraft Registration

This service allows the beneficiaries to apply for an aircraft registration and obtain an aircraft certificate of registration.

• The pre-application phase is an opportunity for an applicant to study and seek clarity on the aircraft registration requirements.
• A standard information package should be included:
• Requirements to register an aircraft.
• Application form and list of documents, which need to be submitted to support the application; and
• Procedures and approximate processing time so that the applicant can avoid a situation when an aircraft is left without registration.
• The applicant will need to know and comply with aircraft registration, deregistration, and airworthiness requirements of both States, the exporting and importing States.

Once it is determined that the application form and all required documents comply with applicable Saudi Civil Aviation Law GACAR 45, 47, the Aircraft Registration Office will issue the certificate of registration to the applicant, assign nationality and registration marks to the aircraft, and update the aircraft register and Subsequent to the issuance of a certificate of registration, GACA will be responsible for that aircraft.
