Description
Drone Operator ID labels, printed in the UK on waterproof vinyl
CAA-compliant drone Operator ID labels printed in the UK on durable waterproof vinyl, supplied as a pack of 90 weatherproof stickers at 35mm x 6mm with an extra-permanent adhesive that holds fast, even in strong winds.
Once you have registered with the Civil Aviation Authority and been issued an Operator ID, UK rules say that ID has to be displayed on your drone and equipment. These personalised drone ID labels carry your Operator ID so you can fix it in place and stay legal to fly, commercial pilot or hobby flyer alike.
Each label is printed on an extra-permanent adhesive vinyl - not paper - so it shrugs off rain, damp and daily handling and stays readable outdoors. The strong outdoor adhesive grips hard shells, plastics and metal, and won’t lift when you are flying in the highest of winds.
You get 90 labels in a pack, enough to cover the drone itself, the controller, spare batteries and your carry case, with plenty left over for a fleet or for replacing worn stickers over the season. Enter your Operator ID and we handle the rest.

By approving your proof you accept the following. Colour is reproduced as accurately as possible but cannot be guaranteed to match your screen, a printed sample or a previous order exactly. Differences between rich (full-colour) black and single black, colours sitting near the edge of the CMYK gamut, fine tints and slight variation between materials, finishes and print batches are a normal part of the printing process and may not be visible on your on-screen proof. These are considered within standard commercial print tolerance and are not classed as a fault. Where any question of print quality arises, StickyThings is the final arbiter of whether a job has printed correctly.
Frequently asked questions
Are these labels CAA compliant?
Yes. They are sized and printed to meet UK Civil Aviation Authority requirements for displaying your Operator ID. You will need to have registered with the CAA and been issued an Operator ID first, then add that ID to your labels.
What size are the labels and how many do I get?
Each label measures 35mm x 6mm and you receive a pack of 90. That is enough to cover the drone, the controller and your batteries, with spares for the rest of your kit.
Will they stay stuck while I am flying?
They are printed on an extra-permanent adhesive vinyl with a strong outdoor bond, so they hold fast to the drone and equipment even in the highest of winds.
Are the labels waterproof?
Yes. They are printed on durable waterproof vinyl rather than paper, so they resist rain and damp, wipe clean and stay readable when you fly outdoors.
Do I need these for a hobby drone or only commercial use?
Both. Whether you fly commercially or recreationally, once the CAA issues your Operator ID you are required to display it, so these labels keep hobby and commercial pilots flying legally.
How quickly will I get my drone ID labels?
Once you approve your proof we get straight to print. For our current production and delivery times, please see our turnaround and delivery page.
