FAA Reminder: Initial Drone Registrations About To Expire
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is reminding everyone whose drone registrations expire in December that the DroneZone is the FAA’s official website for registration.
If you completed your drone registration directly with the FAA before the DroneZone was established in January 2018, a DroneZone account was created for you using the information you provided. Access your account by entering the same email address you used when you first registered, and by using the “forgot password” tool to establish a new password.
If you registered using a third-party service, contact that company to request your DroneZone login credentials. Otherwise, you will have to create a new account in the DroneZone and get a new registration.
Registration on the DroneZone is fast and easy and the fee is only $5 for a three-year period. All drones must be registered, except those that weigh .55 pounds or less (less than 250 grams) and are flown exclusively under the Exception for Recreational Flyers (www.congress.gov/115/bills/hr302/BILLS-115hr302enr.pdf).
Please do your part to keep the skies safe and renew your registration today from the FAAwebsite (faa.gov) or directly at https://faadronezone.faa.gov.
