Germany Drone Law 2025: Why I Got Charged €20 by LBA for Registration

Описание: Two years ago, I shared a video about how to fly your drone legally in Germany. Back then, registering as a drone operator through the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (LBA) was simple and — as many assumed — free.

But recently, I received a surprise letter from the LBA asking me to pay €20 for my drone operator registration — even though I had already registered years ago. In this video, I’ll walk you through:

What this €20 charge is and why it’s being enforced now

What the German drone law says (LuftkostV / Luftfahrtverwaltung)

Whether this fee is legal or disputable

What foreign drone pilots in Germany should know

Any changes in the DroneIQ portal and registration process

If you fly a drone in Germany (DJI, FPV, or hobby drone), this update is crucial!

💬 Have you received this fee too? Let me know in the comments.
