How we verify every mechanic on AeroRobust to ensure you're hiring qualified, certified professionals.
Every mechanic on AeroRobust goes through our rigorous FAA verification process.
Mechanic enters their FAA certificate number (A&P) and IA authorization if applicable.
Our system checks the FAA Airmen Registry database to confirm certificate validity and status.
Once confirmed, the mechanic receives a "Verified" badge visible to contractors.
Our verification checks multiple data points from the official FAA database.
We verify the Airframe and Powerplant certificate number is valid and currently active in the FAA database.
If the mechanic holds Inspection Authorization (IA), we verify this separately as it requires additional certifications.
We confirm the certificate is not suspended, revoked, or expired.
We match the name on the certificate with the profile to ensure consistency.
When you see the FAA Verified badge on a mechanic's profile, it means we've confirmed their certification directly with the FAA database. You can hire with confidence knowing:

Verification creates trust and safety in the aviation maintenance industry.

Skip the background checks and credential verification. Our verified badge means you can move straight to interviews and hiring.
Verified mechanics get 3x more inquiries from contractors. The badge signals you're serious, qualified, and trustworthy.
Your information is safe with us. We take data protection seriously.
All certificate numbers and personal data are encrypted using industry-standard AES-256 encryption both in transit and at rest.
Your FAA certificate number is only used for verification purposes. It is never displayed publicly on your profile or shared with contractors.
We only query the FAA Airmen Registry to verify status. We do not store or cache data from the FAA database.
You can request deletion of your verification data at any time. Contact support to have your information removed from our systems.
Verification is typically completed within 24 hours. Most verifications complete within a few hours. You'll receive an email notification once your profile has been verified.
If verification fails, we'll notify you with specific reasons. Common issues include expired certificates, typos in certificate numbers, or name mismatches. You can re-submit after correcting the information. Our support team is also available to help resolve issues.
Verification is optional but highly recommended. Unverified mechanics can browse and apply to jobs, but contractors strongly prefer hiring verified mechanics. Verified profiles get 3x more visibility and inquiries.
The FAA Verified badge is a small blue shield icon with a checkmark, displayed next to the mechanic's name on their profile. It indicates the mechanic's A&P certification has been verified through the FAA Airmen Registry.
No, you must first hold a valid A&P (Airframe and Powerplant) certificate. IA (Inspection Authorization) is an additional endorsement that requires A&P certification as a prerequisite. You can verify your A&P certificate first, then add your IA authorization.
Once verified, your status remains valid as long as your FAA certificate remains active. If your certificate status changes (expires, is suspended, or revoked), our system will detect this on ongoing checks. We may periodically re-verify to ensure continued accuracy.
Don't worry - we're here to help resolve any verification issues.
