Folks, when doing a search on Google for registering your drone, the first site that comes up is a site that is charging $25 to registering your drone with the FAA. After reading through the site, they claim:
Fill out the online Drone Registration Application in less than 5 minutes. Our agents will review your application for omissions and errors. Once the FAA's drone registration system goes live, our experts will start your registration process and confirmation will be emailed to you. At that stage, you will receive a registration number to mark on each drone that will be tied directly to the owner. Throughout this process, we will communicate any further registration requirements directly with you. We are always here to help with any questions that you may have.
I figured people would try and take advantage of this requirement. From what I understand the registration process on the FAA site would be very quick and easy, cost $5 (which is refunded if you do it in the next 30 days).
No need to go through third party people trying to make money on something you can do yourself for free.
The site I ran into is located at DRONE REGISTRATION.
Go directly to the FAA site instead: sUAS Registration
If you didn't know or did not realize that the registration was only $5, someone might use this site when they do not have to.
Beware!
