FAA Drone Registration Assistance

For drones weighing 55 pounds or more, including payload — Part 47 / N-number registration materials organized before you file.

What it is

We provide registration assistance only for drones weighing 55 pounds or more, including payload. Drones below 55 pounds are outside this service.

Aircraft weighing 55 pounds or more use traditional aircraft registration under 14 CFR Part 47, with an N-number, through paper filing or CARES as applicable. They cannot use the Part 48 FAADroneZone process.

Registration identifies the aircraft and its legal owner; it does not by itself authorize flight operations. Any required operating authority, exemption or certificate is separate.

Once registered, label the aircraft with its registration number and retain the registration certificate as required.

Common questions

Do you register drones below 55 pounds?

No. Our registration assistance is exclusively for drones weighing 55 pounds or more, including payload. For lighter drones, consult the FAA's registration guidance and register directly through the applicable process.

Is a drone weighing exactly 55 pounds eligible?

Yes. Our service includes drones weighing exactly 55 pounds and heavier. These aircraft use Part 47 / N-number registration, not Part 48 FAADroneZone.

Does registration authorize agricultural operations?

No. Registration is separate from any required Section 44807 exemption, Part 137 certificate or other operating authority.
