Permission for Foreign-Registered Drones

In plain language

If your drone is already registered in another country, you cannot register it in Australia. Instead, you must apply for permission to fly it in Australia using the online myCASA portal.

Requirement as structured

CASA states that drones registered in another country cannot be registered in Australia, but operators can obtain permission to fly them in Australia by completing an online application via the myCASA portal.

Original regulatory text

If your drone is registered in another country, you cannot register it here in Australia. However you can get permission from us to fly it in Australia, which is a similar process to registering your drone and can be completed online via myCASA.
