Understanding the Process: If you are looking to fly a drone commercially, you need to register as a drone operator. The registration process involves providing your personal information and details about your drone.
For drone operators in the United States, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires registration of drones that weigh between 0.55 lbs and 55 lbs. You will receive a unique registration number that must be displayed on your drone.
When registering as a drone operator, you will need to be at least 13 years old (for recreational use) or 16 years old (for commercial use). You must also be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.
Drone operator registration is typically valid for three years. It is crucial to renew your registration before it expires to continue operating your drone legally. Additionally, make sure to comply with all FAA regulations while flying your drone.
