Registering your drone with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is a mandatory requirement for all drone owners in the United States. It helps ensure safe practices and compliance with aviation regulations.
If you own a drone that weighs between 0.55 pounds (250 grams) and 55 pounds (approximately 25 kilograms), you need to register it with the FAA. Visit the FAA's official website and create an account to start the registration process. Provide the required information about yourself and your drone.
As of December 2021, the FAA registration fee is $5 for recreational drones. Commercial drone registration costs $5 and is valid for three years. Remember to renew your registration before it expires to avoid penalties.
Once you complete the registration process, you will receive a unique registration number. It is mandatory to label your drone with this number. You can use a permanent marker or a label with the registration number visible on your drone.
After registering your drone, make sure to follow all FAA regulations and guidelines regarding drone operation. Stay updated on any changes in drone laws to operate your drone legally and responsibly.
