Drone Laws [By Countries, States, Cities]

Hey. We Share The Same Airspace…

Help us keep it safe by following the rules

We are drone enthusiasts who recognize that we need all drone users to fly responsibly. We created this website to facilitate education on the latest laws, rules, and regulations governing the use of drones around the world.

“Drone Laws” is a not-for-profit NGO; volunteers manage this website.

Our volunteers regularly check the various websites of drone regulators to identify if there are any substantive changes to their drone laws. We will sometimes attempt to paraphrase the most important parts of the laws, but in some cases, we find it better to provide the language directly to the regulators.

How To Use

Drones overall will be more impactful than I think people recognize, in positive ways to help society.

Our database comprises a country directory with some States or Provinces where applicable. You will find relevant national drone regulations, additional resources, and links to sources or regulatory agencies on each page.

We know drone laws change frequently and suggest you use these pages as a starting point but visit the authoritative reference for the latest drone regulations and related information.

We encourage like-minded enthusiasts to share their experiences in each jurisdiction which may help to augment our collective knowledge of how to operate a drone safely in that jurisdiction.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The content on this site (The latest Drone Laws/Drone Regulations) is collated by volunteers from public general information. It is based on user experience, our own research, understanding, and interpretation of the laws. We always go back to the regulatory source as a starting point and apply our expertise in simplifying where possible what the authorities publish. To that understanding, we add our own first hand experience, and users experience to build a more complete picture.

This material is not presented as legal advice of any kind, and we cannot guarantee that the information is accurate, complete, or up-to-date. Do not substitute the information you find here for legal advice from a licensed attorney who is authorized to practice in the jurisdiction. When in doubt, contact the local aviation authority responsible for drone safety, utilize a licensed drone service operator, and/or consult a qualified attorney.

When your experience is different, we want to know. We welcome any feedback, corrections, or updates that can be shared with our community.

Finally, we urge you to operate your drone safely and to follow the drone laws of the location in which you are flying!
