Check Your Drone License Validity

Every genuine EU EASA drone pilot certificate includes a QR code that connects to the official verification system of the national aviation authority that issued it. This QR code is your certificate's built-in authenticity check — scanning it takes you to a page that confirms the document is real and currently registered.

When you upload your certificate to drone-pass.com, our system reads this QR code automatically. We extract the encoded URL and verify it points to a recognized national aviation authority verification domain. This step happens before any payment — it is our way of confirming your document is a genuine EASA certificate before we process it further.

This verification covers certificates from all EU member states. Whether your license was issued by the LBA in Germany, the RDW or KIWA in the Netherlands, the DGAC in France, AESA in Spain, ENAC in Italy, or any other national authority, our system recognizes the verification domain and confirms the QR code is valid.

What We Verify

Our verification process examines two key aspects of your drone pilot certificate. First, the QR code authenticity: we decode the QR code embedded in your PDF and check that the URL it contains points to a recognized national aviation authority domain. This confirms the document was generated by an official body, not fabricated.

Second, after payment, we perform data extraction. Using AI, we read your certificate and extract the specific fields: your full name, registration number, license categories (A1, A2, A3), expiration date, issuing country, and issuing authority. This data is used to generate your wallet pass. We validate the date formats and ensure all required fields are present before creating the pass.

It is important to note what we do not do: we do not contact the national aviation authority's database directly to verify the status of your specific certificate. The QR code on your pass allows any inspector to do that by scanning it. Our role is to confirm the document is genuine and create a wallet pass that makes presenting your verified credentials easy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I check if my drone license is valid?
Every EU EASA drone pilot certificate contains a QR code that links to the official verification system of the issuing national aviation authority. You can scan this QR code with your phone's camera to be taken to the verification page. On drone-pass.com, we automatically read and validate this QR code when you upload your certificate PDF — confirming it links to a legitimate authority verification system before we process your pass.
What does the QR code on my drone license do?
The QR code on your EASA drone pilot certificate encodes a URL pointing to the official verification page of your issuing country's aviation authority. For example, Dutch certificates link to the RDW verification system, German certificates link to the LBA database, and French certificates link to DGAC's AlphaTango portal. When scanned, the URL takes you to a page that confirms the certificate is genuine and currently registered.
How long is a drone license valid?
EU EASA drone pilot certificates have different validity periods depending on the category. A1/A3 competency certificates (Open Category) are typically valid for 5 years from the date of issue. A2 certificates of remote pilot competency are also valid for 5 years. After expiration, you must pass the relevant exam again or complete a refresher course, depending on your country's requirements. The exact expiration date is printed on your certificate and displayed on the wallet pass.
Can I check a drone license that was issued in another EU country?
Yes. Our system supports certificates from all EU member states that follow the EASA framework. Whether your license was issued in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Belgium, or any other EU country, we can read the QR code and verify it links to a legitimate national aviation authority. The EASA standardization means all certificates follow the same basic structure, regardless of the issuing country.
What if the QR code on my certificate cannot be read?
If the QR code on your PDF cannot be decoded, it usually means the PDF quality is too low or the QR code is damaged. Try re-downloading the original PDF from your national aviation authority's portal — the version directly from the authority typically has a clear, high-resolution QR code. If the issue persists, your certificate may use a format we do not yet support. Contact us and we will look into it.
