Paper Pilot Certificates
The FAA is under a mandate to replace all paper certificates with plastic certificates. In fact, paper pilot certificates have already expired.
If you are a mechanic, on the other hand, and do not replace your paper certificate on or before March 31, 2013, you will no longer be able to exercise your privileges! All certificated airmen, including mechanics, repairmen and pilots, are required to replace their paper copy with a plastic copy, or they will no longer be able to exercise the privileges of that certificate.
The best way to get a new replacement certificate is to click here and follow the instructions. The replacement cost is $2, unless you still have your social security number on your certificate and you ask to have it removed.
Avoid the Rush! Apply today!
