If this is the first time you are registering a drone I have created instructions on setting up your account and registering your drone.
To determine if you are required to register your drone and determine if you should register as a recreational or commercial user, visit the FAA’s website here: https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/user_identification_tool
- Go to this website: https://faadronezone-access.faa.gov
- Select “create an account”
- Enter your details and create your account
- Go to Log in
- Select “add a service” and select “Drone owners and pilots”
- Select “manage inventory”
- Select “add device”. You will be given a choice between “Recreational use” and “Part 107”
- You will be asked if your drone broadcasts FAA Remote ID information. Answer yes.
- Enter the serial number and validate. The serial number will be checked against the FAA’s database of approved aircraft.
- Select add device
- Complete the fields and give the aircraft a nickname (for your future reference).
- Select “Add to cart”. Repeat the process for additional drones.
- Complete payment information. A PDF document will be generated for each drone. The document will include the serial number and a registration number.
- Generate a label with the registration number and attach it to the exterior of the drone.
