MN permits the use of UAS in statute 626.19 found here: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/626.19
Commercial drone operators will need the FAA part 107 license and be registered through MNDot. https://dot.state.mn.us/aero/drones/commercial.html
Under Minn. Stat. §360.55, subds. 9 and 10, drones used for commercial purposes must be registered. In addition, commercial drone operators are required to hold a Commercial Operations License to fly in Minnesota. For the definition of “commercial operations,” please see Minn. Stat. §360.013, subd. 45. The Minnesota Department of Transportation’s Office of Aeronautics manages drone registration, and issues Commercial Operations Licenses.
A Commercial Operations License costs $30 and is valid for one year.
There are two options for registering drones in Minnesota:
- Annual drone registration: $25 per drone under 55 pounds, valid for one year of commercial drone operations. During registration, operators must also verify that they carry the required insurance coverage.
- Per-event registration: $2 per drone, per day, registration is available for certain commercial drone operators. Effective August 1, 2025, a new law allows registration of Coordinated Unmanned Aerial System Fleet Events for Entertainment Purposes – such as drone swarms or drone light shows. Operators must verify required insurance coverage.
Operators may choose per-event registration at $2 per drone (for example, a 100-drone show would cost $200) or annual registration at $25 per drone for year-round use.
