The following are the two types of registration mark reservation options available:

• In-Sequence Registration Marks
• Out of Sequence Registration Marks

Contact the Aircraft Registry Office to inquire about the availability of the desired registration mark.
You can choose from an In-Sequence or an Out of Sequence registration mark. Send an email to markreservation@scaa.sc with your request.

The Aircraft Registry office shall review your email request and check the aircraft registry database to confirm if the registration mark is available or already reserved/assigned.

If the registration mark requested is available, the aircraft registry office shall provide confirmation through email.
This confirmation email does not mean that the registration mark requested has been reserved. If the registration mark requested is not available, you must do Step 1 and re-submit the request.

If you received successful confirmation of the availability of the registration mark, you must write and submit a letter of intent to reserve that specific registration mark.

The letter must be addressed to the following individual:

Mr. David Labrosse
General Manager
Safety and Security Regulation
Seychelles Civil Aviation Authority

The letter shall include the following details in its contents:

• Type of Reservation (In-Sequence or Out of Sequence)
• Registration Mark (requested for reservation) (example: S7-PRN)
• Aircraft Type
• Aircraft Serial Number (MSN)
• Maximum Take-off Weight (MTOW)

The letter must be signed and stamped by the responsible individual.

Please forward the letter to the email markreservation@scaa.sc or bring the original letter to the Aircraft Registry Office.

The Aircraft Registry Office shall review the letter for completeness and conformity with internal procedures.
The office shall liaise with the Airworthiness Department to ensure all information in the letter is acceptable.

The Aircraft Registry Office shall send an invoice to you (or your company) for payment of the reservation of the registration mark.
You (or your company) shall pay SCR 500 for each six month period or part thereof. You must notify the Aircraft registry Office if you wish to cancel the reservation of this registration mark to stop incurring charges.
