3.1 Registration of aircraft
3.1.1 The proper registration of aircraft is fundamental to the regulation of international air operations and is therefore accorded considerable attention in Chapter III of the Convention on International Civil Aviation. Details on the registration and marking of aircraft are contained in Annex 7 to the Convention.
3.1.2 In accordance with international provisions, each aircraft must be registered in a State and each State must maintain a registry of aircraft. An aircraft cannot be validly registered in more than one State, but its registration may be changed from one State to another. The Convention does not provide for an aircraft to be registered by an international organization such as an agency of the United Nations. However, Article 77 of the Convention does provide for two or more Contracting States to establish joint air transport operating agencies subject to ICAO Council determination as to how the provisions of the Convention will apply concerning the registration and nationality of the aircraft operated by such agencies. To date no such agencies have been formed. Subject to any future action the Council might take in respect of joint operating agencies, each aircraft must have only one State of Registry and that State has, among a number of responsibilities in respect of each aircraft on its registry, a fundamental responsibility to ensure that the aircraft is operated in an airworthy condition. A transfer of responsibilities may be agreed but only under the specific formal arrangements required by Article 83 bis of the Convention. (For further information on Article 83 bis, refer to Part V of this manual.)
3.1.3 Under Article 19 of the Convention, the registration or transfer of registration of aircraft in any Contracting State shall be made in accordance with its laws and regulations. Accordingly, the State will need to adopt detailed regulations covering all aspects of registration including such matters as the basic requirement for aircraft to be registered with the State’s application procedures, data required, display of the Registration Certificate and fees (if any). The CAA will need to issue internal administrative instructions on the maintenance of the registry.
