How long can you reserve an N-number?

I thought it was for only a year or so, but faa.gov makes it sound like you
can renew at least once, but didn't see an upper limit on the number of
times.


You can keep renewing it as long as you keep sending them the fee.

I finally stopped renewing N1RN and some glider out in Ohio grabbed it.

Anyone know for sure?

There isn't a limit as long as you renew and pay the $10 each year. I first
renewed mine in Oct 2002.
