International Registry
Cape Town Convention filing and international registry services for cross-border aircraft transactions, financing, and leasing arrangements.
What’s Included
International Registry Search
We search the International Registry for any recorded international interests, prospective international interests, or assignments associated with the aircraft's manufacturer serial number (MSN).
Interest Registration Filing
We prepare and submit filings to register international interests on behalf of creditors, lessors, or buyers - establishing priority under the Cape Town Convention framework.
Discharge of Registered Interests
When a transaction closes or a financing is repaid, we handle the discharge of previously registered international interests - clearing the aircraft's international registry record.
FAA & Transaction Coordination
We coordinate International Registry filings alongside FAA domestic filings to ensure both records are consistent and aligned with your transaction timeline.
Filing Confirmation & Documentation
We provide written confirmation of all International Registry filings and discharges, with copies suitable for inclusion in your transaction closing documents.
Pre-Transaction Registry Search
Before any closing, we conduct a pre-transaction search to identify existing interests that must be discharged before your filing can establish priority.
