No... a certificate never expires. A license has a period of validity and an expiration date.

I thought we were discussing PILOT documents. (The CERTIFICATED instructor's document has a regulated expiry the PILOT certificate does not. It also is only valid if an assocated pilot certificate is valid.)KG wrote:I dunno George..

FAR 61.19 d --
(d) Flight instructor certificate. Except as specified in §61.197(b), a flight instructor certificate expires 24 calendar months from the month in which it was issued, renewed, or reinstated, as appropriate.
FAA is now issuing ten-digit numbers (although the first three are zeros. I guess they're planning ahead.)blueldr wrote:My certificate has six digits and there are, or were, 327,739 ahead of me.
