Why It Matters
The Cape Town International Registry is required for many cross-border aircraft transactions — especially those involving financing, leasing, or owner trusts. Improper filings can delay closings or result in critical interests not being perfected.
We ensure filings are completed accurately, coordinated with the right parties, and in compliance with registry timelines and naming conventions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the International Registry and when is it required?
The International Registry is an online system established under the Cape Town Convention to record certain interests in aircraft and aircraft engines. It is typically used in cross-border transactions, particularly those involving financing or leasing arrangements.
Can you register an interest for me?
We can prepare and coordinate the necessary filings, but the actual registration must be submitted by authorized users. We help guide the process and ensure your filings are accurate and complete.
What is an Entity Code and do I need one?
Yes. An Entity Code is required for participation in the International Registry. We can assist in applying for one on your behalf, or help coordinate the process with your legal or lending team.
Can you help remove an old or incorrect registration?
Yes, we assist with deregistration or correction of previously filed interests, provided proper consent and authority are in place.
Do I need a legal opinion for filing on the International Registry?
In some cases, yes — especially for transactions involving owner trusts or complex structures. We do not provide legal opinions but can work with your legal counsel to coordinate documentation and ensure everything is in order.
