Why Keep Your Drone License on Your Phone?

Every drone pilot knows the scenario: you arrive at your flying spot, set up your drone, and realize you cannot find your license PDF. Maybe it is buried in your email. Maybe it is on your laptop at home. Maybe you printed it once but left it in a different bag. Under EU drone regulations, you must be able to present your pilot certificate on request — and fumbling for a PDF is not a great look.

Keeping your drone license on your phone eliminates this problem entirely. Your phone is the one thing you always have with you. With a wallet pass, your license is stored right alongside your payment cards and boarding passes — accessible with a single tap or swipe, even from your lock screen.

Unlike a PDF file that requires opening a file manager or email app, a wallet pass is designed for quick presentation. The card format shows your name, registration number, and license categories at a glance. No zooming, no scrolling, no waiting for a PDF renderer to load. Just tap, show, and get back to flying.

How to Add Your Drone License to Your Phone

1

Find your certificate PDF

Locate the drone pilot certificate PDF you downloaded from your national aviation authority (LBA, RDW, DGAC, etc.). This is the official document with your QR code.

2

Upload it to drone-pass.com

Drag and drop your PDF onto the upload area. Our system reads the QR code to verify it is a genuine EASA certificate. No personal data is stored on our servers.

3

Complete the one-time payment

Pay €2.99 via Stripe secure checkout. This covers both Apple Wallet and Google Wallet pass generation. No subscriptions or recurring charges.

4

Add the pass to your phone

On iPhone, tap the download button to add directly to Apple Wallet. On Android, tap the Google Wallet link. You also receive the pass by email for adding later.

Present Your License Anywhere in the EU

Under EU regulation 2019/947, your EASA drone pilot certificate is valid across all EU member states. Whether you obtained your license in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Spain, or any other member state, you can fly in any EU country with the same certificate. The challenge has always been having it readily available.

With your drone license on your phone, presenting your credentials to authorities in any country is straightforward. The wallet pass displays your information in a clear, universal format. The included QR code links to the official verification system, so inspectors can confirm your certificate regardless of which country issued it or which language they speak.

This is especially valuable for pilots who travel. If you are on vacation in Spain with your drone, or shooting aerial footage in Italy for a project, you do not need to worry about whether you packed your printed certificate. Your license is on your phone, ready to present in the same way you show a boarding pass at an airport gate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I show my drone license on my phone to inspectors?
Yes. EU drone regulations require you to present your pilot certificate upon request by authorities. While the regulation does not specify the format, presenting a digital wallet pass with your complete license details and the official QR verification code is widely accepted. The QR code links directly to the issuing authority's verification system, allowing inspectors to confirm authenticity.
Does it work on both iPhone and Android?
Yes. We generate wallet passes for both Apple Wallet (iPhone) and Google Wallet (Android). After payment, you can download the Apple Wallet .pkpass file directly on iPhone, or use the Google Wallet link on Android. You can also receive both via email to add to your phone later.
What if my phone battery dies during a flight?
If your phone is dead, you cannot show the digital pass. For critical situations, we recommend keeping your original PDF certificate accessible in cloud storage as a backup, or having a printed copy in your drone case. That said, most pilots find the wallet pass sufficient for day-to-day flying.
Do I need a specific app to view my drone license?
No. The pass uses your phone's built-in wallet app — Apple Wallet on iPhone or Google Wallet on Android. These apps come pre-installed on every modern smartphone. You do not need to download any third-party app.
Can I add the drone license to multiple phones?
Yes. After purchase, we email the wallet pass to you. You can add it to your primary phone and forward the email to add it on a second device, such as a tablet. The pass file works on any compatible device.
