The Ministry of Interior has launched a new electronic service enabling the registration and management of drone ownership data through the unified government services application “Sahel”.

The ministry said the service allows users to inquire about, update, or cancel drone ownership records, as part of efforts to streamline procedures and enhance digital government services.

It stressed, however, that registering drone ownership does not grant permission to operate or use the device.

The ministry clarified that users must obtain all required approvals and licences from the competent authorities before flying drones.

The initiative is part of ongoing efforts to regulate drone ownership and ensure compliance with national security and aviation safety regulations.
