UAS Registration from outside US

[TKofoed]

Hi guys – I live in Norway but is going to the States in a couple months. I therefore tried to register, but registration website doesn't allow access outside US. I have tried contacting UAS help - but to no prevail. Has anyone here, who's not a US resident and successful registering outside the US?

You can't as you don't need to. You are not a US citizen or have a permanent residence here.

Q11. Updated: Are non-U.S. citizens visiting the United States on vacation or for drone competitions required to register?
A. Everyone, including foreign nationals and tourists, who operate a UAS for hobby or recreational purposes outdoors in the U.S. must use the FAA's online registration system. These non-U.S. citizens or non-permanent U.S. residents will receive the same registration certificate as U.S. Citizens or permanent U.S. residents. However, this certificate will function as a "recognition of ownership" document. This document is required by the Department of Transportation for foreign nationals to operate legally in the US.

Q28. Is there a citizenship requirement?
A. Only United States citizens can register their small UAS. The certificate serves as a certificate of ownership for non-citizens, not a registration certificate.

I have seen reference to using a paper system rather than online for foreign registrations - but I've never seen further details.
Perhaps you should just hold off and register online when you get there?

edit ..
Or maybe try this??

Sorry - but that is incorrect information: Q11 on UAS registration FAQ :

Not sure if it will work but I'd be interested to know

Since I never got to the actual registration page – what information do you have to provide?

 

[TKofoed]

Had a friend in the US try to register me but obviously not for non-us citizen

Jeg hadde den med frem og tilbake i november. Ingen registrering - ingen sporsmal, men det var vel ikke lovlig da...

I live in Drammen. I am in the US quite often, so I guess I have to get my papers right then. I also eventually plan to apply for a commercial licence (in Norway).

Then why is the FAA site blocked, when trying to register. I'm a US Citizen and live in Canada,but it will not let me reg. Have sent in 3 request and still NO answer????????????

Because they have a general block on any foreign web addresses and can't distinguish a US citizen with a foreign web address.
But if you use the link in post #11 above you'll get through just fine.

My reply was well before yours and a reply to TKofoed's post.

I've not looked into this matter much but it seems to me that the people running the registration website my be blocking IP addresses from other countries to prevent people who live in those countries from creating incorrect registrations. If this is the case it's obviously a big error on their part.

The easiest way around this would be to simply use the site if you are in the US and going to fly the drone. That way your IP address would allow you to register.
