What type of drone sUAS registration or license do I require?
Recreational FAA Drone Registration
Recreational drone registration is for those who fly drones solely for recreation, and not for other non-hobby purposes.

- Download the sUAS Rules & Regulations Handbook.
Government FAA Drone Registration
If you want to operate a UAS for a government entity – such as a publicly funded university, law enforcement agency, fire department, or any other federal or state government agency – you have two options:
- Follow the same requirements and operating rules for Commercial users, the FAA’s small UAS rule (known as “Part 107”).
or
- To operate the sUAS drone for government entities outside of these rules, you may apply for a blanket public Certificate of Authorization (COA). A COA will allow flights at or below 400 feet in Class G airspace nationwide, self-certification of the sUAS pilot and the ability to obtain emergency COAs under special circumstances. Learn more

Educational FAA Drone Registration
The use of UAS by students in accredited educational institutions as part of their coursework will be allowed under recreational guidelines for model aircraft.
The interpretation also clarifies that UAS can be operated for demonstration purposes at community-sponsored events, provided that the aircraft operator does not receive any compensation, related to the operation of the aircraft.
Students can learn how to design, construct and operate small unmanned aircraft as a component of a variety of courses. These uses fall under recreational use, and schools and students should follow all the same rules as a Recreational Drone Pilot.
A course instructor can only provide minimal assistance to a student flying a UAS when the primary purpose of the course is not operating the UAS.
