If you JUST got a drone and you’re wondering if you need to register it, READ ON.
There are TWO key questions to ask yourself.
- Am I flying for fun? Or am I flying to make money?
If the answer is FOR FUN, then see question 2. If it’s FOR MONEY, then the answer is yes.
2. Is my drone large?
If you have a drone that is greater than 0.55 lbs or 250 grams, then YES, you need to register it. However, if you fly the Mavic Mini, then NO (as long as you are flying for fun, then it is optional for you to register).
How to register your drone
To register your drone, head over to FAA Drone Zone (click here). This is the FAA government website and is the ONLY place that you should register your drone.
