⚠️ Not for operational decisions. This is a record-keeping and planning aid only — not certified avionics, not a source of regulatory truth. Always verify against official sources (FAA) and your operator's approved documents before flying.
Free faa drone registration tracker: every renewal clock on one board with amber warnings at 45 days — because fleet registrations expire on different dates.
About FAA Drone Registration Tracker
FAA drone registration (Part 107 and recreational) is valid 3 YEARS per registration; the number must be displayed on the aircraft and carried proof available on request. The way this actually goes wrong: fleet registrations expire on different dates — each airframe registered when purchased — so a fleet of twelve carries twelve clocks. This board keeps each item with its issue and expiry dates, flips badges amber 45 days out, and headlines the next deadline. The CSV export doubles as the compliance summary clients and auditors request — current dates, references, one page.

Frequently asked questions
What does this FAA requirement actually involve?+
FAA drone registration (Part 107 and recreational) is valid 3 YEARS per registration; the number must be displayed on the aircraft and carried proof available on request. Operationally, the piece that needs a tracker rather than a memory: fleet registrations expire on different dates — each airframe registered when purchased — so a fleet of twelve carries twelve clocks. Enter the real dates from your documents and let the badge own the renewal calendar.
What happens if this lapses mid-operation?+
Privileges pause the moment validity does — flights conducted on lapsed paperwork are violations regardless of skill or safety record, insurance positions weaken instantly, and client agreements with compliance warranties are breached. The recovery is usually quick (renew, retrain, refile) but the exposure window is the danger. A 45-day amber badge converts the whole category of incident into routine admin.
Why doesn't this tool sync to the cloud?+
By design: operational records are sensitive, and the simplest privacy guarantee is never transmitting them. Local-only storage means zero servers, zero breach surface and zero subscription. If you work from several devices, keep one as the master record and move snapshots with the CSV export.
Can I export these records for an audit?+
Yes — one click exports your complete compliance board as a CSV file that opens in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers. The export preserves every column exactly as entered, so you can print it, attach it to paperwork, or hand it to an inspector, buyer or insurance underwriter as a supporting summary alongside your official records.
