My registration is up for renewal and I just sent in the form and a check for $5. Today in the mail I got an offer for a third party to handle it. Total cost? $65. Jeez.

I think its a bit funny that you can't do this on line with the FAA. I also like the part where you have to enter the name and address from the FAA file. If they already have it, why do I need to enter it? Couldn't they come up with a simple renewal form that says "This is what we have. Is it correct? Yes? Pay your $5 with a credit card by clicking here."

Did you miss the mailing from the FAA that provides the access code to renew online? We do about 10 a year.
