# How to Register Your Drone with Transport Canada

If your drone weighs 250g or more (up to 25kg), you must register it with Transport Canada before flying.
**How to register:**
1. Go to the Transport Canada Drone Management Portal: tc.canada.ca/en/aviation/drone-safety/drone-management-portal
2. Create an account or sign in
3. Enter your drone's brand, model, and serial number
4. Pay the registration fee
5. Receive your unique registration number
**Important rules:**
* You must clearly mark your drone with its registration number
* Each drone must be registered separately
* You must carry proof of registration when flying
* Registration takes about 3 minutes online
**Exemptions:**
* Microdrones under 250g do not need to be registered
* Drones over 25kg follow a different certification process
**Foreign pilots** cannot register drones in Canada. They need to apply for an SFOC-RPAS instead.
**Tip:** The RPAS WILCO app helps you manage your drone fleet and keep registration info organized. Download free at rpaswilco.com.
