Hello all, I’m new to drone flying and have a question. I went to the states to officiate my sons wedding and he gave me a DJI mini 3 as a gift. There are no European or UK classification markings on it. Where can i get a tag/sticker from? I live in Doncaster. And to clairify the new regulations, I will need both the Drone ID and the certificate to fly?
Hi and welcome to GADC I would suggest you start here. where you can research getting your flyer id and operator id 
Hi and welcome to the group.
I have the mini 4 Pro and I found the European C rating was moulded into the top of the drone near the battery compartment

Hi @Strick, it looks as though you’re quite new here 
Why not nip over to the Introductions page, and say hello properly and tell us a bit about yourself. 
You cant, pull up a chair and read
To answer your question and also provide further relevant information in one place:
The DJI Mini 3 (minus class mark) is now a legacy drone, but, legacy drone rules have been retained for the foreseeable future. This means you can fly the DJI Mini 3 today exactly how it could be flown in 2025. This is over people and within built-up areas. But you cannot ever fly over a crowd of people.
however
Due to a new rule that affects all drones including legacy and self-built, if you want to fly this drone at night you will need to add a green flashing light to it. Without getting too complex, since your drone lacks a class marking of C0, you don’t have the drama of the drone falling outside of its original certification BUT you will potentially take the drone outside of its maximum allowed weight in the Open A1 Subcategory which is 249.9g. If that’s the case, bureaucracy takes over and you’re supposed to fly the drone 50m away from people and 150m away from built-up areas. Personally, I wouldn’t be doing that.
You will need your Operator ID and a Flyer ID. You will need to put the Operator ID on the drone. The “official” placement is somewhere on the body of the drone and this does include a location like inside of the battery compartment, but I’d recommend just buying Operator ID labels and attaching to the top.
Or just run it through Good 2 Go
Does Good2Go answer:
- Where can i get a tag/sticker from?
- And to clairify the new regulations, I will need both the Drone ID and the certificate to fly?
From what I can see, Good2Go:
"make[s] the following assumptions:
- You have any required Flyer ID and Operator ID for the drone or model aircraft you are using"
So he will instead need to read CAP2320 before even touching Good2Go.
As I’ve said on another post I’ve written, if every single forum post contains nothing but a question and then a “go here for the answer” then no directly useful information is being shared either to users of the forum itself or indeed any search engine scraping the site.
If sharing of information is not expected under the forum header “Questions & Answers” then I’m at a loss as to how we share it?
And thats where for the community to work people need to help each other.
Surely.
Or we could replace with ‘call the CAA’
Am I not doing that with my response? I’m not understanding your angle here.
Thank you
Doncaster here aswell, welcome to the forum
It may not have them since purchased in the USA i assume Best thing to do is contact dji with the drones serial number and explain it was a gift from the USA and is now in the UK They may also need you to do a firmware update as US drones are configured diffrently to here.
That’s incorrect, the firmware is the same
Also, DJI will not entertain reclassification of a drone
Thought they had changed years ago to comply with remote id laws they have already? I apologise if thats not the case
DJI drones are “global”, what you buy is the same no matter what.
What happens is the drone will behave differently once it’s got a GNSS lock.
Get a lock in the UK, UK regs kick in.
Now you’re in France? EU regs kick in.
The only thing with purchasing a drone that isn’t in the hosts country is that the warranty is void. That’s the only difference.
