In plain language

Under Article 99-10(1) of Taiwan's Civil Aviation Act, a drone with a maximum take-off weight of 250 g or more (二百五十公克以上) owned by a natural person, and any drone owned by a government agency (institution), school or legal person, must be registered, and the registration number must be displayed on a conspicuous part of the drone.

Requirement as structured

Under Article 99-10(1) of Taiwan's Civil Aviation Act, a drone with a maximum take-off weight of 250 g or more (二百五十公克以上) owned by a natural person, and any drone owned by a government agency (institution), school or legal person, must be registered, and the registration number must be displayed on a conspicuous part of the drone.

Original regulatory text

自然人所有之最大起飛重量二百五十公克以上之遙控無人機及政府機關（構）、學校或法人所有之遙控無人機，應辦理註冊，並將註冊號碼標明於遙控無人機上顯著之處，且一定重量以上遙控無人機飛航應具射頻識別功能。

Applies when

owner

natural person: 250 g or more; government agency, school or legal person: every drone regardless of weight

scope

all_purposes

caveat

The radio-frequency identification duty in the same paragraph applies above a weight set by regulation and is not covered here.

threshold note

The binding Chinese text says 二百五十公克以上 (250 g and above), so a drone of exactly 250 g must be registered. The official English translation says 'exceeding 250g'; it states that the Chinese version prevails.
