An FAA airman certificate is the U.S. pilot license. Pilots seeking to convert their license or work for a foreign airline often need the certificate, or a verification of it, apostilled.
Why it needs an apostille abroad
The apostille certifies the FAA document for Hague Convention countries; non-Hague destinations require embassy legalization.
