[TR]
[TD="width: 50%"]What category of UAS is covered by the registration requirement?

[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="width: 50%"]Do owners need to register each individual UAS they own?

[/TD]
[TD="width: 50%"]No. The registration system is owner-based, so each registrant will have a single registration number that covers any and all UAS that the registrant owns.

[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="width: 50%"]Is registration required at point-of-sale?

[/TD]

[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="width: 50%"]Is the registration system electronic or web-based?

[/TD]
[TD="width: 50%"]The system for entry of information into the database is web-based and also allows for multiple entry points, powered by an API that will enable custom apps to provide registry information to the database and receive registration numbers and certificates back from the database. Registrants can also modify their information through the web or apps.

[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="width: 50%"]How does a UAS owner prove registration?

[/TD]
[TD="width: 50%"]A certificate of registration will be sent to the registrant at the time of registration. The certificate will be sent electronically, unless a paper copy is requested, or unless the traditional aircraft registration process is utilized. The registration certificate will contain the registrant’s name, FAA-issued registration number, and the FAA registration website that can be used by authorized users to confirm registration information. For registrants who elect to provide the serial number(s) of their aircraft to the FAA, the certificate will also contain those serial number(s). Any time a registered UAS is in operation, the operator of that UAS should be prepared to produce the certificate of registration for inspection.
