Aircraft interim registration

Interim registration (CAR 202.36): stopgap registration a Canadian aircraft is deemed to have without application. Certificate: interim certificate of registration.

Case Deemed interim-registered when
Transfer of custody and control (202.36(1)-(2)) Any part of legal custody and control transferred and new owner meets CAR 202.16 (qualified to be registered owner, meets Aircraft Marking and Registration Standards). Registration is in the new owner's name. A second transfer is not deemed, even if new owner meets 202.16.
Change in registered owner's name, address or other information on continuing certificate (202.36(4)) Requirements in Aircraft Marking and Registration Standards met.

Expiry: earliest of the following per case.

Trigger Transfer case (202.36(3)) Change case (202.36(5))
Three months Last day of three-month period after date of transfer Last day of three-month period after date of change or amendment
Transfer Day of a further transfer of any part of custody and control Day of any transfer of any part of legal custody and control
Continuing certificate Day a continuing certificate of registration is issued Day a continuing certificate of registration is issued

Interim certificate may not be transferred (CAR 202.36(6)).

Trap: three months run from date of transfer (or change), not application; continuing registration ends interim one when issued, not when applied for.
