Drone registration in Sweden

If you are responsible for a drone flown outdoors, you must register if the drone:

• weighs at least 250 grams,
• has a camera, audio recording or other sensor,
• can transfer more than 80 joules of kinetic energy to a person in a collision, or
• is flown in the specific category.

You do not need to register for toys, drones flown only indoors, or drones under 250 grams without a camera or sensor.

1. Log in to Drönarsidan with Swedish e-ID.
2. Register as an operator and pay the application fee by card or Swish.
3. Mark your drones with the operator ID.

To register as a private person through the e-service, you must be at least 18 and registered as resident (folkbokförd) in Sweden. Without e-ID there is a paper form, but processing takes longer.

• The operator ID must be on the drone’s body and readable without aids (other than glasses or contact lenses) when the drone is on the ground. A QR code is fine.
• If the drone is too small, the ID may in exceptional cases go inside the battery compartment.
• Program the ID into the drone if you can, so it is broadcast with the network remote ID.
• Transportstyrelsen does not send stickers; marking is up to you.

The application costs SEK 190. After that there is an annual fee of SEK 250, charged to whoever is registered on 1 January. The operator ID stays valid until you deregister, and if you deregister by 31 December you avoid the next year’s fee. See all fees.

If you live in another EU/EEA country, register there, not in Sweden; your operator ID is valid here. If you live outside the EU/EEA, you can apply to Transportstyrelsen for registration manually.
