I’ve read that, in order to save time, it would be preferable to register our drones before leaving for Peru as opposed to doing so at the airport. Does anyone know the precise registration location? I looked everywhere online.
Yes, you can register your drones in Peru before your trip to save time. The registration process is handled by the Directorate General of Civil Aeronautics (DGAC). You can obtain the registration card at the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) headquarters located at Jr. Zorritos 1203, Cercado de Lima. Alternatively, you can visit one of the regional Citizen Service Centers.
This process takes about 48 hours.
In Peru, flying a drone is legal, but there are rules to follow. If you’re visiting with a drone, here’s what to know:
For commercial use, you need a certificate.
Declare your drone at customs and pay an 18% tax, refundable when leaving.
Not declaring could lead to a $250 fine.
Drones in Peru assist with environmental monitoring, disaster response, and mapping remote areas. They enhance efficiency in areas like wildlife tracking and infrastructure inspection.
