Obligations and insurances

If you have a drone, you may need to have an insurance or a flight permit. If these are required for you, you must add them to the operator information. Whether you need to insure the drone, depends on where and what type of drone you are flying. For private users with a drone over 20 kilograms, insurance is obligated based on EU regulations.

We strongly recommend that you take out an insurance for physical or material damage to third parties due to accidents with drones. Check whether your liability insurance covers damage caused by drones.

For more information about obligations and insurance, visit the website of Inspectie Leefomgeving en Transport (ILT).
