and other relevant topics. On test day, please bring a government-issued ID, complete the test within 2 hours, and achieve a score of at least 70% to pass. With proper preparation, you can successfully take this test.
3. After passing the test, log in to the FAA's IACRA website (Integrated Airman Certification and Rating Application) and complete the Part 107 application (Form 8710-13). Once the form is approved, you will receive a temporary certificate via email. The official Part 107 license will arrive by mail in a few weeks. Keep the certificate handy whenever you fly your drone.
4. In addition to a Part 107 certificate, your drone must be registered with the FAA if it weighs more than 0.55 lbs (which includes most agricultural drones). The registration fee is $5, and you can complete it on the FAA DroneZone website, which remains valid for three years. After registration, you will receive a number that you must display on the drone, as required by FAA rules. As of 2023, registered drones must have Remote ID capability.
Registration costs 5 and is valid for 3 years. You'll need a credit or debit card and the make and model of your drone handy in order to register. Learn more about registering your drone.
Create an account and register your drone at FAADroneZone. Select "Fly sUAS under Part 107."
Once you've registered, mark your drone (PDF) with your registration number in case it gets lost or stolen.
Beginning September 16, 2023, if your drone requires an FAA registration number it will also be required to broadcast Remote ID information (unless flown within a FRIA). For more information on drone registration, visit How to Register Your Drone.
5. With a registered drone and license, you can fly a drone under Part 107 regulations. The Part 107 certification requires a recurring test every 24 months, which can be taken on an online platform at no additional cost. Always fly below 400 ft altitude and keep the drone within line of sight.
