Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), commonly known as drones, need to be registered with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States. This registration process is important as it helps in ensuring the safety and accountability of drone operators.
If you own a drone that weighs between 0.55 and 55 pounds for recreational or commercial purposes, you need to register it with the FAA. To register your UAS, you must be at least 13 years old and a US citizen or legal permanent resident. The registration is valid for three years.
The FAA has an online portal called the DroneZone where you can easily register your drone. You will need to provide basic information about yourself and your drone, along with a registration fee. After completing the registration process, you will receive a unique registration number that must be displayed on your drone.
It is essential to comply with all FAA regulations regarding drone operations, including flying within the allowed altitudes and areas, avoiding manned aircraft, and respecting others' privacy. Failure to abide by these regulations can result in fines or legal actions.
Remember that UAS registration with the FAA is valid for three years. Make sure to renew your registration before it expires to continue operating your drone legally. You can update your information or re-register your UAS through the DroneZone portal.
