How do you correct a mistake on a pilot license?
I had this happen to me on my first license. I got in touch with the FAA Examiner and he had me contact the local Flight Standards Office (FSDO) who corrected it for me.



If it was a mistake on the application, your Certifying Officer (read: FAA Examainer) can allow you to edit the information through IACRA (https://iacra.faa.gov/iacra/default.aspx) and the license re-issued.

If all of the information was correct, but it was misprinted, you would want to call your local FSDO.
