The FAA will stop requiring paper documents for aircraft registration

The US aviation regulator will no longer require original paper documents for registering aircraft. This means people can submit digital copies instead of mailing physical papers.

For decades, registering an aircraft meant dealing with a lot of physical paperwork. This change removes a major administrative hurdle for anyone buying, selling, or modifying an aircraft. It makes the process faster and less prone to delays from lost mail or processing backlogs.
