Aviation and Transportation Security Act

Attention all students registering for flight courses

The Aviation and Transportation Security ACT (ATSA) require that all students taking flight training must show proof of U.S. citizenship. International and permanent resident students must obtain clearance from the ATSA.

Proof of U.S. citizenship may be presented by submitting one of the following documents to the Records Office.

• A valid, un-expired United States Passport
• An original birth certificate with raised seal documenting birth in the United States or one of its territories
• An original U.S. Naturalization Certificate with raised seal, Form N-550 or Form N-570
• An original certification of birth abroad, Form FS-545 or Form DS-1350
• An original Certificate of U.S. Citizenship, Form N-560 or Form N-561

If using a method other than a valid passport, a current government issued photo ID with a picture will also be required. Photocopies of the above are not acceptable, even certified copies.

International students or permanent residents must contact the Airman Certification Coordinator at the Flight Records Office, Building F6, at 928-777-4327 for information and assistance on how to obtain clearance on the ATSA website.
