Registration Renewal

My registration is up for renewal and I just sent in the form and a check for $5. Today in the mail I got an offer for a third party to handle it. Total cost? $65. Jeez.

I think its a bit funny that you can't do this on line with the FAA. I also like the part where you have to enter the name and address from the FAA file. If they already have it, why do I need to enter it? Couldn't they come up with a simple renewal form that says "This is what we have. Is it correct? Yes? Pay your $5 with a credit card by clicking here."

I have renewed online many times.

Did you miss the mailing from the FAA that provides the access code to renew online? We do about 10 a year.

Evidently, I did miss the mailing. I'll take my crow now. Carry on.

Call the FAA registration division and they will give you the access code over the phone. Then you can register online.

I renewed my registration a couple weeks ago and yesterday got the letter offering to pat the FAA $5 for a $60 fee. What a scam. I don't recall exactly how much info I had to fill out on the FAA's website, but it looks like these guys want even more. So I pay $60 to enter more information into their website.

Wow...

If you get fooled by the $60 scam (you will notice they come up first on the goole search) send the scam company an email and cancel the service then report the fraud to your cc company and cancel the charge.

Renew with the FAA for $5.
