A drone registration label in Canada is the visible marking of your RPAS registration number required under CARs Part IX. Transport Canada expects the number to be permanently affixed on the aircraft in a legible, fire- and weather-resistant format readable without tools before flight.
Avoid Regulatory Penalties
Operating a drone in Canadian airspace requires strict adherence to marking standards. These drone registration labels are designed specifically for operators who need to meet Transport Canada's visibility and durability mandates. Do not risk an inspection failure or heavy fines due to illegible or missing registration marks. These labels provide the permanent, high-contrast marking required for all registered Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS).
Who Needs This
This kit is for commercial and recreational drone pilots operating under Canadian regulations. If you have received a registration number from Transport Canada, you are legally required to display it on your aircraft. This is essential for pilots conducting inspections, mapping, or photography where regulatory compliance is non-negotiable. If you fly in Ontario or anywhere in Canada, these labels ensure your drone is identifiable from the ground.
What You Get
Each kit contains three high-durability, permanent adhesive labels. We use outdoor-rated vinyl designed to withstand prolonged exposure to Canadian weather, including UV rays and moisture. The labels are precision-cut to ensure legibility. You receive a kit that maintains its integrity for over five years, ensuring your registration remains readable during Transport Canada audits. The adhesive is engineered for smooth drone chassis surfaces.
Regulation Backing
These labels are manufactured to satisfy the visibility and durability requirements found in Canadian Aviation Regulations. Specifically, they assist in meeting the standards outlined in CAR 900.14, which mandates that the registration mark must be displayed in a legible manner on the exterior of the drone.
Local Manufacturing
All labels are produced by our makers in the Niagara region, specifically out of Port Colborne, Ontario. We know the law because we follow it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a registration label on my drone in Canada?
If your RPAS weighs 250 g or more, Transport Canada requires registration and the registration number must be marked on the aircraft in a durable, legible way before every flight under CARs 900.14.
What size should my drone registration label be?
Transport Canada does not specify an exact size, but the number must be clearly visible without tools. We recommend minimum 6 mm letter height on small drones.
Do drones under 250g need labels?
Drones under 250 g are exempt from registration and labeling for basic operations. However, if accessories push the weight over 250 g, registration becomes mandatory.
