Part 107 Drone Registration and Remote ID

Updated October 27, 2026

Before a commercial drone flight, two things have to be in order besides your pilot certificate: the drone must be registered, and it must meet the Remote ID rule. Here’s what each requires, followed by free practice questions.

Registration

  • Every drone flown under Part 107 must be registered with the FAA, whatever its weight. (The 0.55-pound exception applies only to recreational flying.)
  • Register through the FAA’s DroneZone website.
  • Mark the registration number on the outside of the drone.
  • Carry proof of registration when you fly.

Remote ID

Remote ID is like a digital license plate: the drone broadcasts its identity and location so authorities can see who is flying. There are three ways to comply:

  1. Fly a standard Remote ID drone, which has the broadcast built in.
  2. Attach a Remote ID broadcast module to a drone without built-in Remote ID. Drones using a module must stay within visual line of sight.
  3. Fly without Remote ID only inside an FAA-recognized identification area (FRIA), usually run by community flying clubs and schools.

Free registration and Remote ID practice questions

  1. A 0.5-pound drone will be used for paid real estate photos. Must it be registered?
  2. Where must the registration number be shown?
  3. Which is NOT a way to meet the Remote ID rule?
  4. A drone using a Remote ID broadcast module must be flown:
  5. Where can a drone without Remote ID equipment be flown?
