Greetings to all at Drone hub from Birmingham UK.
Thank you for allowing my entry to this hub and I am praying that someone can assist me with registering for an operators id in Spain and Europe.
I have spent many hour’s attempting to complete this task but confusion always beats me part way through.
I have a uk flyer and operator id. a Swiss flyer id & a Luxembourg flyer id with numbers to confirm. I have x2 insurance policies and no idea how to register myself for the operators id in Europe.
Can you help.
Thank you, Reg

Hi Reg, welcome to The Hub!
Which services have you attempted so far?
Hi Louis, to be fair I have only just joined and posed a question regarding registering an operators id in Spain and Europe. Apart from that I am working out how this forum work as I have never joined or used one before, I am of a senior age and sometimes get a little confused with the technology.
Hopefully I will work it out and get a little more involved in the community.

Hi Reg
Several of our members have used the French Alpha Tango system to get European Operator IDs.
They are free of charge.
However, when we looked at it for a member recently the service seemed to be broken.
We looked at Netherlands and Luxembourg and both seemed to charge money for an Operator ID.
Which countries registration systems have you looked at? (You mentioned Luxembourg and Switzerland)?
@SimonDale @Reg I got my Euro Op ID through Alpha Tango for free, fairly straight forward they have an English version. Links seem to be working for me

@MarcusB that’s brilliant information. Thanks Marcus!
@Reg Please give Alpha Tango (the French registration system) a try. It’s free and it works!

Guide for getting an EU operator ID from: https://alphatango.aviation-civile.gouv.fr/login.jsp
- On that first page, change the language to English (‘Anglais’) at the bottom. (This is important because, if your browser translates it to English instead, it causes issues because you won’t find the UK in the drop-down list of countries).
- Choose ‘Create your account’, then ‘A manual input’.
- Choose ‘Individual / sole trader’.
-
‘Birth name’ is for your surname, and ‘First name’ is for your first name. Fill these fields in.
-
Choose ‘United Kingdom’ from the Native Country drop-down. Choose ‘United Kingdom’ from the ‘Nationality’ drop-down. Choose ‘United Kingdom’ from the address drop-down. (If you can’t find these, it is because you have the language set to French. Go back to step 1).
-
Leave ‘Identification Number’ and ‘Trading Name’ blank. Leave ‘Territorial division’ blank too.
-
Submit the page, you will get an email, click the link in the email and set your password.
-
Press ‘Menu’ and ‘My operator activity’.
-
Under the heading ‘UAS operator registered in France’ press ‘Register’.
-
Tick both of the declarations (‘I declare that the operator named above is not already registered as a UAS operator in another EASA Member State.’ and ‘I declare that France is the first EASA Member State in which the operator named above intends to operate.’). You must tick these to proceed
-
Press ‘Register’.
You will then see a green message saying that you have been assigned an EU Operator ID and you will be asked to sign up for the newsletter. Press Cancel on the newsletter box.
You will receive an email, in French, which says that you have been assigned an operator ID and it is visible under ‘My Operator Activity’ in your account.
- Log back in to your account and press ‘Menu’ and then ‘My operator activity’. You can then see your EU operator ID.
- Press ‘Download a statement of situation’ to download a PDF showing your operator ID and registration details.

Once again thank you all so very much and rest assured if I can return the favour
