Labelling your drone or model aircraft

Follow this guidance if your drone or model aircraft requires an operator ID.

You can check if you need an operator ID for your drone or model aircraft.

Warning You must label every drone or model aircraft that requires an operator ID. It is against the law not to do this.

You must label your operator ID on every drone or model aircraft you’re responsible for.

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

Always label with your operator ID, not your flyer ID.

Your operator ID must be:

visible from the outside, or within a compartment that can easily be accessed without using a tool
clear and in block capitals taller than 3mm
secure and safe from damage
on the main body of the aircraft

If you’ve registered, you can check your operator ID in the registration email we sent you or in the My registration area.
