In plain language

When you deregister your drone to sell it, leave the registration number on the drone. The new owner must register using that same number.

Requirement as structured

Do not remove the registration marking from your drone after deregistering it, as the registration number remains the same for the new owner.

Original regulatory text

Do not remove the registration marking from your drone after deregistering it from your account. A drone’s registration number remains the same even if it is transferred to someone else.
