The registration requirements will cover all drones that weigh less than 55 pounds, well, technically less than 55 pounds and above 250 grams (.55 pounds). In practice the 250 gram exemption is irrelevant since most drones weigh more than that.
Drone owners do not need to register each individual drone they own. Rather, each registrant will have a single registration number that covers any and all drones that the registrant owns.
Registration is required prior to operation, not at point-of-sale.
Information required for the registration process includes (1) name and (2) street address of the registrant. Mailing address, email address, telephone number, and serial number of the aircraft are optional.
The minimum age requirement to register is 13 years of age.
There is no registration fee.
Registrants will provide their registry information through the Web or apps, and receive registration numbers and certificates of registration back from the system. Those certificates will contain the registrant’s FAA-issued registration number.
The registration number must be attached to the drone, unless the registrant chooses to provide the FAA with the drone’s serial number, and must be readily accessible, readable, and legible upon close visual inspection. |
