UA Registration

Any unmanned aircraft (UA) with a total weight of above 250 grams, except for UA that are operated solely for the conduct of light shows under a Class 1 Activity Permit, must be registered before it can be operated in Singapore. Some examples of UA include radio-controlled aircraft, drones and remote-controlled kites.

The UA registration is a two-step process comprising:

  • Purchase of a registration label at $25 each;
  • Completion of the online registration via the UA Portal.

Important note:

  1. UA users must be at least 16 years old at point of registration. For those below 16 years old, they must ensure that the UA is registered by an eligible individual (e.g. parent or legal guardian) and have obtained his/her permission to use it. 
  2. Users are reminded that they will be held accountable for all activities involving the UA registered under their name. 
  3. There will be no replacement for the lost or damage of registration label. New registration label would need to be purchased.
