Which DJI drones have Remote ID? Here’s the complete list [Updated March 2024]

Remote ID is a feature that allows a drone in flight to provide its identification and location information to other parties. The FAA likens it to a “digital license plate” for a drone. Most drones operating in the US airspace are required by law to have this capability. So, which DJI drones currently have Remote ID?

Remote ID compliance rule and deadline for drone pilots

A drone can either have Remote ID capabilities built-in, or it could be outfitted with an external device to ensure compliance. DJI has already rolled out firmware updates to bring most of its latest drones into compliance. However, some older models may require a separate add-on module to broadcast Remote ID information.

Originally, the FAA had asked drone pilots to decide by September 16, 2023, whether they wanted to upgrade their aircraft or purchase an add-on Remote ID device. But days before the deadline, the FAA announced that pilots will now have until March 16, 2024, to equip their drones with Remote ID capabilities. This decision was taken because the agency recognized the unanticipated issues that some operators were experiencing in finding add-on broadcast modules.

In the meantime, remember that the FAA’s Remote ID rule applies to all drone operators in the US, with the following exemptions:

  • You fly a drone that weighs less than 250g, such as the DJI Mini 4 Pro, and you fly it only for recreation purposes.
  • You fly a drone at an FAA-Recognized Identification Area (FRIA). These FRIAs will be your traditional model airplane fields where hobbyists have gathered and flown safely for decades.
