What happens after you pass?

Registrants will be given a unique ID which must be displayed on their devices.

Use the same operator ID for all your drones or model aircraft.

If you’ve registered, you can check your operator ID in your confirmation email or online.

Your operator ID must be:

- visible without needing a special tool to remove or open part of your aircraft.

- clear and in block capitals taller than 3mm.

- secure and safe from damage.

- on the main body of the aircraft.

- easy to read when the aircraft is on the ground.

The process will cost £9 and must be renewed each year.

The CAA’s new platform will also be used to help return lost drones to their owners.

Anyone losing a drone is advised to post their details on the Drones Reunited platform, while anyone who finds one is encouraged to check if it has a registration number and enter the details online.

What does the test involve?

The test will have 40 multiple choice questions, with applicants needing 30

The CAA has prepared material to help you study for the test.

Do children need to take the test?

Yes, children and adults must pass the test.

A parent or guardian must register children under 13, but the child must take the test if they will fly the drone to obtain a Flyer ID.
