You must update your account settings through the Drone Management Portal if your personal information ever changes.

Update the address on your licensing documents on-line, using GCKey. Learn more about GCKey, or sign-in and update your information.

Aircraft registration and leasing
You must notify Transport Canada, in writing, within seven (7) days of your change of address. There is no fee to report a change of address.
Note: if your aircraft has two or more owners, only the person listed as mail recipient must report a change in address.
Update the address on your aircraft registration documents on-line using GC-Key. Learn more about GCKey, or sign-in and update your information.
If you would rather change your address by mail
- Enter your new address on the certificate of registration application section. Sign the application form in ink.
- Mail the certificate of registration to a Transport Canada Civil Aviation regional office.
When we receive your certificate, we’ll mail you a new certificate with the updated address.
Interim certificates
While you wait for your aircraft to be re-registered, you can activate an interim certificate of registration.
- Print your new address and the date it changed in the boxes on your interim certificate
- Keep your interim certificate on board your aircraft until we mail you a new one
Interim certificates are valid until the earliest of the following days:
- the last day of the 3-month period following the sale of the aircraft by the previous owner
- the day on which there is another transfer of custody and control
- the day on which you receive a new certificate of registration
Note: if you have an old version of the certificate of registration, without the portion used for the interim certificate, you can’t activate an interim certificate for a change of address.
In this case, inform us in writing of your new address and we will issue you a temporary certificate. This will allow you to return your certificate of registration and to continue operating your aircraft. There is no fee.
