Register Your Drone with FAA

Why Registering Your Drone with the FAA is Important

Registering your drone with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is a crucial step to ensure you comply with aviation regulations and fly your drone legally and safely.

Steps to Register Your Drone

1. Create an Account: Visit the FAA Drone Zone website and create an account. Provide the necessary information such as your email address, physical address, and contact number.

2. Register Your Drone: Enter the required information about your drone, including its make, model, and serial number. Make sure to have this information readily available.

3. Pay the Registration Fee: There is a small registration fee that needs to be paid online. Once the payment is processed, you will receive a registration number for your drone.

4. Affix Registration Number: After receiving the registration number, it must be affixed to your drone. It should be visible without needing any tools to access it.

Renewal and Other Important Information

Drones need to be registered every three years. Make sure to renew your registration before it expires to avoid any legal complications.

If you sell your drone, remember to remove the registration number or update the registration information with the new owner's details. This is important to maintain compliance with FAA regulations.
