Homepage Fill Out Your Wisconsin Aircraft Registration Template
Structure

Registering an aircraft in Wisconsin is a straightforward process that ensures compliance with state regulations. The Wisconsin Aircraft Registration form is essential for all aircraft based in the state, and it must be completed accurately to avoid penalties. The form requires the FAA-assigned "N" number, along with the owner's legal name, address, and daytime contact number. It consists of several sections that detail the aircraft's specifications, including its make, model, gross weight, and type of power. Owners must also select the appropriate registration type, whether it’s for a new, restored, or antique aircraft. Fees vary based on the aircraft's gross weight and registration type, with specific provisions for amateur-built and municipal aircraft. Additionally, the form addresses exemptions for unairworthy aircraft and provides guidance on tax computations. Timely submission is crucial, as late applications incur additional fees. Understanding these components will help ensure a smooth registration experience.
