The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC), through the Directorate General of Civil Aeronautics (DGAC), has simplified the process for registering drones, making it quicker, easier, and fully virtual.

To operate a drone in Peru, it is mandatory to register it with the DGAC and obtain pilot authorization, with some exceptions under Law No. 30740.

It’s recommended to have all the drone’s technical data and the owner’s personal information on hand before starting the process.

Previously, this required submitting the “Appendix A” form with technical and personal data, which could take up to 30 business days to process. With the new system, registration is completed in minutes.

In 2024, the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) made significant regulatory advancements to strengthen digital connectivity in Peru, positioning it as a key driver for social and economic development. These measures included optimizing the Coverage Fee mechanism to improve rural access, regulating infrastructure sharing, and enhancing the radio spectrum for efficient telecommunications. The MTC also introduced environmental initiatives like removing unused overhead wiring and promoting sustainability in telecommunications projects.

Key progress was made with the introduction of 5G technologies, updates to the Telecommunications Law, and the establishment of Line 111 for public safety. Additionally, 24 agreements were signed with regional governments to improve technical capacities and connectivity, alongside international cooperation agreements with organizations in Korea, China, and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) on issues like online child protection. These efforts underline the MTC’s commitment to technological modernization, digital inclusion, and regional development.
