Navigating the IATA certification process can be complex, particularly when preparing shareholder identity documents. For freight forwarders or CASS partners seeking AMS certification, providing accurate and compliant proof of ownership is a critical step.
IATA mandates that all shareholders or owners submit clear, valid copies of passports or national identification cards. This requirement applies universally to Head Office (HO) category agents, with English-language versions required regardless of the applicant's location.
Key documentation requirements include:
- Legibility: All copied documents must display information clearly without blurring or obstruction.
- Validity: Submitted identification must be current; expired documents will be rejected.
- Completeness: Full copies of identification documents are required, including all relevant pages where applicable.
Adhering to these guidelines when preparing application materials can significantly improve processing efficiency, enabling businesses to commence operations more quickly.
