- Coverage: US-registered aircraft, updated each federal working day
- Cost: From 2 credits a call; failed and empty calls are free

## Good to know

- Document receipts cover the last 180 days only, so this is not a chain of title or a legal opinion. Each response links to the FAA page for ordering the full record.
- An owner can ask the FAA to keep their details private. The owner fields are then empty and `withheld` is true.
- A deregistered or unassigned number answers 404 and is free. An empty document window is free.
