Can I Register My PLB Under A Business Name?

April 5, 2026

Quick Answer

Yes, you can register your PLB under a business name, but check with your local aviation authority or regulatory body for specific requirements.

Registration Requirements

When registering your Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) under a business name, it’s essential to verify the registration requirements with your local aviation authority or regulatory body. In the United States, for example, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that all PLBs be registered with the agency. You’ll need to provide business information, such as the company name, address, and contact details.

Business Registration Process

To register your PLB under a business name, you’ll typically need to follow these steps: (1) obtain a unique identifier for your business, such as an Employer Identification Number (EIN) in the United States, (2) provide the required business information on the PLB registration form, (3) sign the registration form as the authorized representative of the business, and (4) submit the registration form to the relevant authority. Be sure to carefully review the registration requirements and follow the specified procedures to ensure accurate and timely registration.

PLB Registration Fees

PLB registration fees vary depending on the jurisdiction and type of registration. In the United States, the FAA charges a $25 registration fee for each PLB. It’s essential to check with your local aviation authority or regulatory body for specific fee information and payment instructions. Additionally, be aware that some jurisdictions may charge additional fees or require proof of business registration before permitting the use of a PLB under a business name.
