There are rules to register an imported aircraft in Australia.
Before you submit your form
You must supply official notification from the relevant authority of de-registration or non-registration, either:
- from the national aviation or sporting authority of the originating country for imported aircraft
- from an Australian sporting association for previously registered aircraft
- from the Department of Defence for aircraft previously registered with the Australian State Register.
Statutory declaration
You must provide a statutory declaration when the:
- official notification is more than 3 months old
- cancellation of the aircraft's registration was more than 3 months ago.
The statutory declaration should outline aircraft's whereabouts and operations since either:
- its de-registration
- the issue of its non-registration notice.
Your declaration must also state that the aircraft has not been on the register of any other country since either the:
- cancellation
- issue of the non-registration notice.
You cannot have aircraft registered in 2 countries at the same time.
Submit your statutory declaration along with your application.
