Do I need to register my drone and if so, how do I register?

Federal law requires all drones operated under 14 CFR Part 107 to be registered.  The limited statutory exception for recreation requires registration of all aircraft weighing more than .55 pound (250 grams).  All registered aircraft must have their registration number displayed on the exterior. Review the UAS registration information to learn more about the program.
