How do you find out the original date of issue on you FAA certificates ?

Online database and replacement cards only have the reissue date. Original cards and logbooks are no longer available.

Thanks, Jeff.
 
To clarify, I was meaning Airmen Certificates.

Was filling out a job application that asked what the original date of issue was.
 
can you find it in your logs? I think it starts the day you pass the checkride. They give you a temp certificate and FAA mails plastic copy.
 
Called certification branch, they were able to tell me. I don't know why you can't just log in to Airmen Services and look yourself.
 
like he noted in his original post - online airmen services shows the date of last issue ... renewal or replacement or new rating etc ... not original.
 
I really hate the fact that when you get a replacement certificate that it shows when the replacement was issued rather than the original issue date.
 
Just log into IACRA, select APPLICANT and you can browse through all of it.

You browse your completed applications, since most folks remember passing or failing a ride you should be able to put it together from there.

Order your Airman Certification Records from FAA. Takes a couple weeks, costs a couple bucks. faa.gov, drop down Licenses & Certificates, select Airman Certification, then Certificates, then Get copies of Airman Certification Records. The instructions are there. Ya get the whole shebang, written test scores, checkrides and copies of the original certificate. Not the best quality copies, but readable. I lost a log book and did it to verify hours I had so I could rent some higher performance airplanes.

I was curious so I just signed up on the IACRA site. It shows no applications, the date of the last type rating I got, and the date of my last CFI renewal. That's all.

Oh, and I opted out of providing my SS#. :rofl:

I bought one of your old student's logbooks off of eBay and got the SSN. Heh heh. Those old logbooks of long gone pilots now sell for a pretty penny, with all of those SSNs in them. Heheheh... Kidding.

Although I wouldn't be surprised if someone tried.

AFAICT, IACRA only retains what you gave it, plus perhaps the date of your most current ratings.
So if most of your applications and ratings were done during the Stone Age, they won't show on IACRA. At least that's true for me.

Yup. Stone-Ager here. The last rating I got which was not through a training center was in 1999. I have never used IACRA. I guess places like FSI don't either.
 
prolly explains why the score from the Written that I took in 1964 doesn't show
