Step 0 · Before UOM

Prepare before opening UOM

This guide walks you through the real CAAC UOM registration, screen by screen — from creating the account to Registration Complete and the registration mark. Nothing here is submitted to UOM for you: you enter your own information on the official platform.

Step 0 has no UOM screen, because you have not opened UOM yet. Work through the 7 items below first. Each one has one annotated example image and its own self-service fix if you are missing something. These are AI-generated teaching examples, not verified screenshots from UOM.

Keep private information out of this guide. Enter your password, SMS code, passport number and identity images only on the official UOM site.

What you need before you open UOM 7 items

Passport and handheld passport photo

The passport of the person who will own the UOM account. Real-name registration ties the aircraft to a named owner, so this document decides whose name goes into UOM. Prepare a clear photo of you holding the open passport data page, with your face unobstructed and passport text readable. No WeChat is needed for the foreign-passport route. Follow any additional back / visa-page slot on your live application.

CAAC rule

AI-generated photographic example: face fully visible next to an OPEN passport data page with all personal details replaced by EXAMPLE or X characters — **Photograph your face and the open passport data page together. The sample passport is fictional.**AI-generated instructional example · fictional data, not a UOM screenshot · Enlarge ↗

Before you mark Ready

Show the complete face and readable passport details together.
Use the passport of the account owner. If UOM asks for an additional page, follow that live field.

Mobile number for the SMS code手机号码 / Mobile number

Prepare a mainland +86 number that you control, receives UOM verification SMS and is eligible to verify your own identity. In our October 2026 UOM workflow, an already-verified number could not be reused for a different person.

Traveler reports — unconfirmed

AI-generated photographic phone example showing an SMS verification message with a sample code and an obscured +86 phone number — **Use an SMS-capable phone and enter only the code you actually receive. This code is a dummy example.**AI-generated instructional example · fictional data, not a UOM screenshot · Enlarge ↗

Before you mark Ready

A travel data-only eSIM is not a substitute for SMS.
No usable Chinese number? Review the owner-name consequences before continuing.

ReadyI don’t have this / I’m not sure

Problem: Which number situation is yours?

In our October 2026 hands-on UOM workflow, reusing a +86 number already verified to one identity for another person failed. This is an observed platform limitation, not a published CAAC one-number-per-person rule. Check that the number is eligible for your own identity and receives SMS on the owner-contact screen (Step 4). A foreign number or data-only eSIM may not work.

Email address电子邮箱 / Email

Any normally working email address. 电子邮箱 (Email) is a contact field in the CAAC registration procedure, and the registration mark can be sent to it later.

CAAC rule

AI-generated photograph showing a sample email inbox with fictional registration message and spam folder — **Use an inbox you control, and remember to check spam. No real UOM email is depicted.**AI-generated instructional example · fictional data, not a UOM screenshot · Enlarge ↗

Before you mark Ready

Check inbox and spam; save access to the same account.
The sample message is illustrative, not a promised UOM email.

ReadyI don’t have this / I’m not sure

Contact / correspondence address in China境内居住地址 / Mainland residence address

A China correspondence address you can supply in UOM. The address fields are part of the CAAC registration procedure, so this is a required field — how strictly the live platform checks it is what we have not confirmed.

Traveler reports — unconfirmed

AI-generated photographic form example showing province, city, district and a detailed fictional Beijing address — **Prepare the actual province, city, district and full street or hotel details in China.**AI-generated instructional example · fictional data, not a UOM screenshot · Enlarge ↗

Before you mark Ready

Confirm province, city, district and exact building details.
Use a real address; do not invent a location to pass validation.

ReadyI don’t have this / I’m not sure

Drone brand and exact model产品型号 / Product model

The exact brand and product model of the aircraft that will be registered. UOM has a long model list, and picking a near-match puts the wrong record on your aircraft.

UOM screen

AI-generated photographic drone model reference with MINI 4 PRO printed on the aircraft arm and enlarged detail — **Read the exact model on your own drone or manufacturer app. The depicted aircraft is illustrative.**AI-generated instructional example · fictional data, not a UOM screenshot · Enlarge ↗

Before you mark Ready

Check the airframe label or manufacturer app.
Select an exact match later; Mini 4 and Mini 4 Pro are different.

ReadyI don’t have this / I’m not sure

Exact drone model

Aircraft serial number source产品序列号/出厂序号(SN) / Serial (SN)

You need to know where to read the aircraft serial now, because you will type it into UOM in Step 11 — Enter the aircraft serial and actual usage.

UOM screen

AI-generated photographic aircraft serial-label example contrasting aircraft SN XXXX-EXAMPLE and battery SN BATT-XXXX-EXAMPLE — **Use your AIRCRAFT serial number, not the battery or controller number. The label location varies by model.**AI-generated instructional example · fictional data, not a UOM screenshot · Enlarge ↗

Before you mark Ready

Compare the physical label with the app reading.
If serial types conflict, stop and verify; do not guess.

Two aircraft photos无人机照片 / Aircraft photos

Two photos for the aircraft registration screens in Step 12 — Upload the aircraft and serial photos.

UOM screen

Which UOM path will you use?

Step 1 · Create your UOM account

Open UOM and find registration

Live-checked 2 October 2026 against official UOM (uom.caac.gov.cn). Entry (1.1) and registration notice (1.2) are live reference screenshots. After 下一步, UOM opens account credentials — that screen is Step 2.

1.1 · What you should see — official entry

Official UOM reference screenshot with bold Chinese and English callouts directly in the same image: UOM website entry — mobile login and free registration — Official UOM interface remains unchanged inside the annotated image. Numbered callouts and explanations are added by China Travel Decisions.

Login-only placeholders (not used for Free registration): 请输入手机号 · 请输入图形验证码 · 请输入短信验证码.

Not needed for registration: 账号问题申诉 / Account-issue appeal and 忘记密码？ / Forgot password? are recovery links for existing accounts. For a new registration, use 免费注册 only.

Do this now

Use Open official UOM ↗ in this page’s header. It opens UOM in another tab.
Keep this guide open in your original tab.
Find ① 免费注册 / Free registration. The SMS fields above it belong to 手机号登录 / Mobile-number login; they are not registration.

1.2 · What you should see — registration notice

Official UOM reference screenshot with bold Chinese and English callouts directly in the same image: Registration notice and agreement — Official UOM interface remains unchanged inside the annotated image. Numbered callouts and explanations are added by China Travel Decisions.

What this notice says (summary)

Plain-language summary, not a legal translation. The binding text is the Chinese original on UOM.

You must provide true, accurate personal or unit information as required by CAAC-related rules.
After registration, you are responsible for your account, password, and all activity under that account.
Privacy policy essentials: the platform states it will not disclose registration data or non-public stored content to third parties except with your authorization, by law, by competent authorities, or to protect the public interest.
The platform may terminate service if the information you provide is false or incorrect.

Also on-screen (annotated above): title 用户注册须知, checkbox 我已阅读并接受上述内容, button 下一步. Registration steps listed in the notice describe filling account credentials then completing personal/unit information — those screens are Steps 2–3 here.

Do this now

Click 免费注册 / Free registration on the entry screen.
Read ① 用户注册须知 / User registration notice.
If you accept, tick ② 我已阅读并接受上述内容.
Click ③ 下一步 / Next.

Check before continuing

You clicked 下一步 on the registration notice.
You can see the account-credentials fields (用户类型 / 登录账号 / passwords).
The address bar is on official uom.caac.gov.cn or DJI-linked uas.caac.gov.cn.
UOM stays open in its own tab; this guide stays in the other.

If this fails

Overseas access can be slow or fail. Try a normal browser, retry later, or obtain the official app through UOM’s own download link when the site is reachable. App-store availability and performance vary; a VPN or an assisted service does not guarantee access.

My screen looks different

Problem: Your controls do not match the reference.

Try 1 — different path: These are website screenshots; app controls may differ.
Try 2 — different sub-page: Return to the official entry using the header link. Select Free registration rather than mobile login.
Try 3 — changed UI: Match only the labels shown in the reference screenshot. Live UOM puts account credentials after the notice — continue with Step 2. Do not guess a Chinese button.

How you know it is fixed: You can identify the registration notice and the credentials screen that follows. If all three checks fail, use the floating Need help? button.

UOM will not open / app is unavailable

Problem: The official site or app cannot be opened. Overseas users have reported slow pages, timeouts or failed access; this does not establish a blanket ban on foreign networks.

Try 1: Retry the header’s official web link. DJI also links the official web login; keep it in another tab.
Try 2: Use the official iOS or Android download link on the official UOM site if installable. App Store regional availability problems are traveler reports, not a guaranteed restriction.
Try 3: Try another connection, then retry the website if the app is unavailable. Never enter credentials on an agent’s substitute login page.

How you know it is fixed: The official platform loads and you can find registration. If none works, use the floating Need help? button.

Step 1 ends when you see the credentials screen after the notice. Confirm below — Step 2 then walks through filling those fields. Previewing Step 2 from the outline before that confirm does not complete this step.

Step 2 · Account credentials

Choose an individual account and credentials

Live reference screenshot from official UOM (uom.caac.gov.cn/#/register) on 2 October 2026 — the screen immediately after the registration notice. We have not reconfirmed the latest live interface because the official site timed out during this research. Enter login details only on official UOM. This guide never asks for or stores passwords.

What you should see — account credentials

Official UOM reference screenshot with bold Chinese and English callouts directly in the same image: Live UOM account-credentials panel after the notice — Official UOM interface remains unchanged inside the annotated image. Numbered callouts and explanations are added by China Travel Decisions.

Do this now

At ① 用户类型, choose 个人 / Individual for registration in your own name. Do not assume the radio is already selected; confirm the actual selection on the live screen. 单位 / Organization is a different account type.
Enter a login account name in ② 登录账号. No character rule is visible on the live field — use letters and digits you can remember, and mark any live validation UOM shows as unverified until read on your screen.
Enter a password in ③ 登录密码 that follows the exact live rule above (all four character classes, 8–20 characters).
Repeat the same password in ④ 确认密码.
Click ⑤ 下一步 / Next (not 上一步).

What to enter — only on official UOM

Never type your login account or password into this guide. Enter them only on the official UOM tab.

UOM field	Fill with	Notes / format check
用户类型 / User type	个人 / Individual	Do not choose 单位 for a personal foreign-owner registration.
登录账号 / Login account	A username you invent	Not your passport number and not your phone. No acceptance rule is visible on the live field; if UOM rejects a format, read the live error (resolver E2).
登录密码 / Login password	Your own password that meets the live rule	注：密码至少是8到20位数字、大写字母、小写字母、特殊符号的四种组成 — Note: The password must be 8 to 20 characters and composed of all four types: digits, uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and special symbols. Use a strong unique password within 8–20 characters that includes all four required classes. A password manager can generate one. Never store or share a real password here.
确认密码 / Confirm password	Identical re-entry	Must match 登录密码 exactly.

Check before continuing

个人 is selected, not 单位.
Password self-check against the live rule: 8–20 characters · includes a digit · includes an uppercase letter · includes a lowercase letter · includes a special symbol.
Both password fields match.
You are on official uom.caac.gov.cn (or the DJI-linked uas.caac.gov.cn entry).

If this fails

Password doesn't meet requirements

Problem: UOM rejects the password against its displayed rule.

Try 1 — length: Count characters; the live rule requires 8 to 20 (8到20位).
Try 2 — four classes: Confirm the password includes all of: digits (数字), uppercase (大写字母), lowercase (小写字母), and a special symbol (特殊符号).
Try 3 — retype both fields: Clear 登录密码 and 确认密码, enter a new compliant password once, then identically again. Do not paste from this page.

How you know it is fixed: UOM accepts the password and lets you leave the credentials panel with 下一步.

Login account already taken / invalid format

Problem: UOM rejects the login account.

Try 1 — read the live error: Copy the exact Chinese or English message UOM shows. The accepted format for 登录账号 was not visible on the credentials panel in the reference screenshot; treat any format claim beyond that as unverified.
Try 2 — safe adjustment: Change to a different invented username (letters and digits you can remember). Avoid passport numbers and phone numbers.
Try 3 — uniqueness: If the live error says the account already exists, invent another username rather than reusing an old one you cannot control.

How you know it is fixed: UOM accepts the login account field without an error beside it.

My screen looks different

Problem: Your controls do not match this live credentials reference.

Try 1 — different path: These are website screenshots; app controls may differ.
Try 2 — wrong sub-page: Return via the header’s official link, complete Free registration and the notice, then confirm you are on 注册账号信息 (wizard step 2), not mobile login.
Try 3 — changed UI: Match only the labels shown in the reference screenshot. Do not guess a Chinese button. If the labels are gone or renamed, use Need help?.

How you know it is fixed: You can identify 用户类型, 登录账号, 登录密码, 确认密码, and 下一步 on your own session.

I clicked 下一步 and now I see SMS / mobile / email fields

Problem: After credentials, UOM shows a later wizard panel with contact / SMS controls. That is expected — it is not the entry-page mobile login.

Later panel in the registration wizard; labels here come from a reference screenshot, not a live UOM session — match your own screen. The exact panel was not live-rechecked on official UOM because it requires submitted credentials.

Official UOM reference screenshot with bold Chinese and English callouts directly in the same image: Later registration SMS / contact controls (reference screenshot) — Official UOM interface remains unchanged inside the annotated image. Numbered callouts and explanations are added by China Travel Decisions.

When these fields appear

Enter your prepared number in 手机号码.
Complete 图形验证码 using your own live image.
Click 获取验证码 and wait for your SMS.
Enter that SMS code in 短信验证码, only on official UOM. Fill 电子邮箱 with an email you can open.

UOM field	Fill with	Notes / format check
手机号码 / Mobile number	The number you prepared in Step 0	No country-prefix selector is visible in this reference. An accepted foreign-number format is unverified.
短信验证码 / SMS code	The code you actually receive	A fixed six-digit rule is unverified in this screenshot. Never enter the code here.
电子邮箱 / Email	An email you can access	Contact field for this later panel; spelling matters.

If the SMS code never arrived:

Try 1: Recheck the number on your live screen and solve its image challenge. Foreign-number format is unverified.
Try 2: Wait for any countdown, then resend once with 获取验证码. On the entry login screen the different button is 发送验证码.
Try 3: Use the official app download links on the official UOM site; do not start duplicate accounts.

Traveler reports flag foreign-number failures; current foreign SMS acceptance is unconfirmed. A data-only eSIM does not provide a phone number for SMS.

How you know it is fixed: The UOM code arrives at your own number and UOM accepts it — or you can continue the later wizard panel without an SMS error.

Confirm when you have filled credentials on official UOM and clicked 下一步. SMS / email fields that appear afterward are the next wizard panel — use the resolver above for guidance; they do not reopen Step 1.

Step 3 · Owner identity

Enter the foreign owner’s identity

Illustrative reconstruction based on earlier registration flows, not a live or verified current UOM screenshot. Confirm each field and its owner-identity requirements on uom.caac.gov.cn.

Not shown in the reference: Wizard progress after step 2 shows 完善… only — full step-3 title is cut off in the reference screenshot. Read the full title in your live UOM session.

Original reference placeholders (also explained in the field table): 请输入您的真实姓名 · 请输入您的证件号码 · 请输入证件有效起始日期，例20010203 · 请输入证件有效结束日期，例20210203 · 请选择您的出生日期.

\n

Illustrative reconstruction based on earlier registration flows, not a live or verified current UOM screenshot. Confirm each field and its owner-identity requirements on uom.caac.gov.cn.

Earlier reference contained these controls: 请选择您的出生日期 · 请选择您的民族 · cascade 省/市 · address hint 详细地址不必重复填写地区. Contact fields continue into Step 4.

Not shown in the reference: The live graphic-challenge image and any 获取验证码 control are not clearly visible in the lower reference screenshot — follow your own UOM session.

Earlier third-party screenshots are partially cut off and have been replaced here by labeled, privacy-safe field reconstructions. They are not evidence of the current interface.

What happens after you submit: Submitting this identity form is not account approval. Approval arrives later by SMS from the CAAC Information Center; a real approval SMS sample is shown in the account-review steps (7–8), not here. Do not treat form submission as Step 3 “approved.”

Do this now

Confirm you are on wizard step 完善账号信息 (complete / improve account information) after account credentials — not the login page and not the credentials panel.
In ① 姓名, enter the owner’s name exactly as on the passport data page (see table). Never type it into this guide.
Open ② 证件类型. The earlier reference shows 身份证 in the closed dropdown. For a foreign passport, select the passport option — Traveler walkthroughs say select “Passport”; the Chinese option visible in prior live UOM DOM notes is 护照. The full dropdown list is not open in the reference screenshot; if you cannot find it, use resolver E2.
Enter ③ 证件号码 from the passport data page (Passport No.), not MRZ check digits.
Fill ④⑤ validity dates using the on-screen date format: YYYYMMDD examples 20010203 / 20210203.
Select ⑥ 出生日期, ⑦ 性别 (男/女), and ⑧ 民族 as your live screen requires. Country/region for a foreign passport is covered in the table (unverified in these reference screenshots).
Click 下一步 on official UOM when the identity block is filled. Address / SMS / email fields that continue on the same long form belong to Step 4 — do not mark Step 3 complete for those alone.

What to enter — only on official UOM

Never type a real name, passport number, or date of birth into this guide. Enter them only on official UOM.

Passport source map: use the data page (visual fields). The MRZ at the bottom uses < fillers and check digits — do not copy those into UOM fields.

Generated passport and face example with fictional data only, used to illustrate identity-document preparation — Illustrative sample only · All identity details fictional · Look up the passport number and dates on your OWN passport data page.

UOM field (verbatim from screenshot)	Fill with	Format check
姓名 / Name	Owner’s name as printed on the passport data page (Surname / Given names). The earlier cropped reference shows a single 姓名 field; the current UOM interface may differ.	Character-for-character with the passport, including spaces and case. Traveler reports (real rejection SMS): if the passport distinguishes Surname, Given names, Middle name, separate with commas (,).
证件类型 / Document type	Not the default 身份证. Foreign passport holders: select the passport option (护照 per prior live DOM / traveler “Passport”).	Dropdown options beyond the default are not fully visible in the reference screenshot (menu closed). Exact Chinese for every option is unverified here; if 护照 is missing, use E2.
证件号码 / Document number	Passport number from the data page (“Passport No.” / equivalent).	No spaces. Do not append MRZ check digits or `<` fillers.
证件有效起始日期 / Document validity start	Passport date of issue from the data page.	On-screen example 20010203 → visible format YYYYMMDD. (The reference screenshots omit 期, while some operational references include it — this step follows the reference screenshots.)
证件有效结束日期 / Document validity end	Passport date of expiry from the data page.	Example 20210203 (YYYYMMDD). End must be after start. DJI also mentions long-term code 00000000 — treat as unverified for an ordinary foreign passport.
出生日期 / Date of birth	DOB from the passport data page.	On-screen hint says 请选择您的出生日期 (select) — use the live picker; use the format requested by UOM.
性别 / Gender	Match passport sex: 男 (Male) or 女 (Female).	Only these two options are visible in the reference screenshots.
民族 / Ethnicity	Select as required on your live screen. Traveler walkthroughs say foreigners select an appropriate option — the exact foreign option text is unverified in these reference screenshots.	On-screen hint: 请选择您的民族. Use the ethnicity option shown in your live UOM session.
Document country / region (Chinese label unverified in these reference screenshots)	Issuing country of the passport. Traveler walkthroughs name “Document Country/Region”; prior live DOM notes used 证件国家（地区） — not re-verified in the screenshots shown here.	Use the EN→中文 reference lookup below when picking a Chinese country name. This lookup is reference data, not UOM UI.

Nationality / country reference (not UOM UI)

Standard Chinese country names for common visitor nationalities. Use only to find the right option in a live country picker — these strings are not transcribed from a UOM dropdown screenshot.

EN / code	中文 (reference)
US	美国
UK	英国
CA	加拿大
AU	澳大利亚
DE	德国
FR	法国
JP	日本
KR	韩国
SG	新加坡
IT	意大利
ES	西班牙
NL	荷兰
NZ	新西兰
CH	瑞士

Check before continuing

姓名 matches the passport data page exactly (characters, case, spacing).
证件类型 is the foreign passport option — not 身份证.
证件号码 has no spaces and no MRZ check digits.
Validity start/end match the passport and are in the right order (YYYYMMDD as shown).
Country/region (if shown) was picked from a real option / the reference lookup — not typed phonetically.

If this fails

Name rejected? Open the Name format resolver below — it shows a real rejection SMS from CAAC as evidence.

E1. Name format resolver

Name format resolver

The rejection rules below come from a real CAAC Information Center rejection SMS (traveler evidence). They are not a live UOM field tooltip. Live UOM for this foreign identity screen was not rechecked in this workspace.

Older UOM reference image: Real name-rejection SMS from CAAC Information Center (sample); numbered Chinese and English explanations are contained at the right within this same image view. — Historical UOM reference · CTD bilingual annotations added in the same visual frame. Check live UOM before acting.

Pick what happened — then follow that branch. Never type your real name into this guide.

E2. Document type not found / no foreign option

Problem: You cannot find a foreign-passport option in 证件类型.

Try 1 — reopen and scroll: Open the dropdown fully and scroll. The reference screenshot shows the field closed on default 身份证; the open list is not shown.
Try 2 — confirm screen: You must be on 完善账号信息 after a 个人 account credentials step. Distinguishing marks: fields 姓名 / 证件类型 / 证件号码 (not 登录账号 / 登录密码). If you still see only login credentials, go back to Step 2.
Try 3 — Web vs App: These reference screenshots are from the website. App labels may differ; use the option shown by UOM.

How you know it is fixed: You can select a passport / foreign document option and the number field accepts a passport-shaped value — or Need help? with blocker document_type_not_found.

E3. Number / validity rejected

Problem: UOM rejects 证件号码 or a validity date.

Try 1 — passport line: Re-copy the Passport No. from the data page (see specimens image), not from the MRZ line.
Try 2 — character set: Letters and digits only as printed; no spaces, no punctuation unless the passport number itself shows it.
Try 3 — check digits: Do not append the MRZ check digit after the passport number. For dates, use YYYYMMDD as in the on-screen examples (例20010203 / 例20210203); keep start before end.

How you know it is fixed: Those fields clear their live errors and UOM lets you proceed with 下一步 on the identity block.

E4. My screen looks different

Problem: Layout or labels do not match these reference screenshots.

Try 1 — name layout: Verified evidence shows a single 姓名 field. If your screen splits surname/given, treat that as a UI change — fill each part from the passport data page without inventing Chinese labels, then use Need help? if stuck.
Try 2 — Web vs App:
Try 3 — changed UI: Match only labels you can read on your live screen that also appear in these reference screenshots. Do not guess missing Chinese text. Live UOM for this foreign identity screen remains unverified in this guide.

How you know it is fixed: You can identify 姓名, 证件类型, 证件号码, validity dates, 出生日期, 性别 on your session — or a specialist has your blocker.

Confirm only after you have submitted the owner-identity fields on official UOM (姓名 through the identity block, then 下一步 as your screen requires). This does not mean account approval — that wait is Steps 7–8. Address / SMS / email on the same long form are Step 4.

Step 4 · Address and contact

Enter mainland residence and email

What you should see — residence and contact fields

Instructional reconstruction for international travelers. This is not a current UOM screenshot; check live labels and conditions.

手机号码 / 图形验证码 / 短信验证码 appear on this same long form. Enter them on official UOM. If the SMS code never arrives, use the existing resolver in — Step 4 does not rebuild that path. Captcha image / 获取验证码: not shown in the reference in this screenshot.

Not shown in the reference: There is no reference screenshot of the opened 省/市 picker in this guide. Traveler reports describe cascading selection; the open-picker appearance is unverified — use the options in your live session.

Do this now

Confirm you are still on 完善账号信息 after identity fields — same long form as Step 3.
In 境内居住地区, open the cascade and select province (省) then city (市) as shown in the reference screenshot. The alternate layout also shows a third 区县 control — follow whatever levels your live UOM picker presents.
In 境内居住地址, paste or type a real detailed address in Chinese characters. Do not invent one. Do not repeat the cascade region (on-screen hint: 详细地址不必重复填写地区).
Fill 电子邮箱 with an email you can open (same guidance as Step 0 / Step 2’s later panel).
For 手机号码 / challenges / SMS: complete them on UOM; SMS failure recovery is only in Step 2’s tail.
Click 下一步 on official UOM when this block is ready.

What to enter — only on official UOM

Never type a real street address, phone number, SMS code, or password into this guide.

UOM field (verbatim from screenshot)	Fill with	Format check
境内居住地区 / Mainland residence area	Cascading selection matching your real mainland accommodation area. Reference screenshot: 省 → 市. The alternate layout also shows 区县.	Opened option lists are unverified (no open-picker reference screenshot). Follow your live picker levels exactly.
境内居住地址 / Mainland residence address	A real detailed address in Chinese characters you can document. Traveler report (not verified UOM policy): Traveler walkthroughs suggest accommodation / hotel addresses are commonly used. Whether UOM accepts accommodation addresses is unconfirmed. Never invent a fake address to pass the field. How to get Chinese characters: copy from your hotel booking confirmation (Booking / Trip.com often show 中文 addresses) · ask the front desk or concierge to write the address · machine-translate then verify every character with the hotel. Paste only into official UOM.	On-screen hint: 详细地址不必重复填写地区 — do not restate province/city already chosen above.
电子邮箱 / Email	An email you can open on this trip (same idea as Step 0 email prepare and Step 2’s later-panel table).	Check spelling. This guide never stores it.
手机号码 · 图形验证码 · 短信验证码	Your accepted number and live challenge / SMS code — on UOM only.	SMS-never-arrived recovery: (not rebuilt here).

Check before continuing

The region cascade matches your real accommodation’s mainland location (省 / 市 as shown).
The detailed address is in Chinese characters and is not invented.
Email spelling is exact.
Consistent with what you prepared or flagged in Step 0 (address / email / SMS).

If this fails

E1. I don't have a China address yet

Problem: You cannot supply a real mainland correspondence address yet.

Try 1 — return to Step 0: and work the accommodation / host options there.
Try 2 — wait for a real address: Confirm your first hotel or host address before submitting this UOM block.
Try 3 — never invent: Do not fabricate 街道 / 门牌 to clear validation. A false address is worse than waiting.

How you know it is fixed: You can write one accurate China address in Chinese that matches a real place you will use — or Need help? with blocker address_uncertain.

E2. I can't type Chinese characters

Problem: You cannot input 中文 into 境内居住地址.

Try 1 — copy from booking: Open Booking.com / Trip.com (or your hotel email). Copy the Chinese address line if shown. Paste into the UOM 境内居住地址 field only.
Try 2 — front desk: Ask the hotel desk or concierge to write the full address on paper or in a message; type or photograph-and-transcribe carefully into UOM.
Try 3 — translate then verify: Machine-translate your English address, then have the hotel confirm every character before pasting into UOM.

How you know it is fixed: The UOM address field accepts Chinese characters that match your real accommodation — without inventing content.

E3. My city / district isn't in the picker

Problem: You cannot find your location in 境内居住地区.

Try 1 — province first: Select 省 correctly, then reopen 市 and scroll the full list.
Try 2 — spelling / municipality: Direct-administered cities (e.g. Beijing, Shanghai) may appear as province-level entries — check both levels carefully.
Try 3 — live screen only: Opened option text is unverified in the reference screenshot. Match only what your live UOM shows; use the place name shown by UOM.

How you know it is fixed: Cascade shows your real area, or Need help? with blocker region_not_found.

E4. Email rejected / no confirmation email

Problem: UOM rejects 电子邮箱 or you never see mail from the platform.

Try 1 — spelling: Re-type the address carefully on UOM (no spaces).
Try 2 — spam / filters: Check spam and any work-mail quarantine for automated messages.
Try 3 — Step 0 email resolver:

How you know it is fixed: UOM accepts the email field without an error beside it.

E5. My screen looks different

Problem: Layout or labels do not match this reference screenshot.

Try 1 — same form: Confirm you are still on 完善账号信息 after identity (姓名 / 证件类型), not the login page.
Try 2 — Web vs App:
Try 3 — changed UI: Match only labels you can read that also appear in this reference screenshot. Live UOM for this contact block remains unverified here.

How you know it is fixed: You can identify 境内居住地区, 境内居住地址, and 电子邮箱 on your session — or Need help?.

SMS code never arrived? That resolver is only in Step 2 — .

Confirm only after you have filled residence + email (and any SMS fields your live form requires) on official UOM. This does not mean account approval.

Step 5 · Identity document upload

Provide the foreign-owner identity evidence

What you should see — identity upload slots

Instructional reconstruction for international travelers. This is not a current UOM screenshot; check live labels and conditions.

Not shown in the reference: The reference screenshot shows 上一步 only. A 下一步 / submit control for leaving the upload panel is not visible here — follow your live UOM buttons.

Handheld / passport specimen collage (including the holding-photo diagram) already appears once on . Not re-embedded here (single-evidence-occurrence).

Do this now

Stay on the foreign-owner identity / account-info flow until you see the upload table with columns 序号 · 文件标题 · 文件名称.
Prepare two clear handheld photos on your device (see checklist) — do not paste them into this guide.
On official UOM, upload slot ① 手持证件照片(正面) and slot ② 手持证件照片(反面/护照签证页). Use slot ③ 其他 only for supporting evidence requested by your application or reviewer. For visa-free entry, confirm what UOM accepts in the second slot; do not invent a visa page.
Optional: open 示例查看 on slot 1 in UOM to compare the platform’s example (not shown as a separate screenshot here).
Confirm uploads on official UOM. Uploading is not account approval.

What to upload — only on official UOM

Never paste a passport, visa, or selfie into this guide. Upload only on official UOM.

Upload slot (verbatim from screenshot)	What to provide	Preparation check
手持证件照片(正面) * / Handheld document photo (front)	A photo of you holding the front / data side of the identity document used in Step 3. Red * = required in the reference screenshot.	Grey instruction on the row: 本人无遮挡，证件信息清晰可见. Optional UI control: 示例查看.
手持证件照片(反面/护照签证页) * / Handheld document photo (back / passport visa page)	The additional reverse / passport visa-page evidence requested by this slot. The reference form marks it required (*). If you are visa-exempt or have no visa page, ask UOM what it accepts for your case; do not assume a cover photo or a handwritten note will be accepted.	Same quality instruction as slot 1. Which exact visa/entry stamp page is best is not further specified in the reference screenshot — match the live label + any UOM example.
其他 / Other	Optional in the reference screenshot (no *). Extra supporting file only if your live session needs it.	No instructional grey text is visible for this row in the reference screenshot.

Universal pre-upload checklist

Entire document page visible — no cropped edges
No glare / flash washout
Name and document number readable at 100% zoom
Correct slot (front vs back/visa page)
File opens on your device before you upload to UOM

Exact accepted size limit unit after 20 is truncated in the reference screenshot. Formats JPG / JPEG / PNG / PDF are visible. If UOM rejects a file, read the live error message and use resolver E1 — use the size limit shown in your live session.

Check before continuing

Every required slot (*) has the right document / page for that label.
Name and number visible in the photos match what you entered in Step 3 exactly.
Images are readable at 100% zoom with no cropped edges.
Uploads were done on official UOM only — never pasted into this guide.

If this fails

E1. Upload rejected / file not accepted

Problem: Official UOM rejects the file for a slot.

Try 1 — read the live error: Copy the exact on-screen message (format, size, clarity). The reference screenshot only shows JPG/JPEG/PNG/PDF and a truncated “20…” size note.
Try 2 — fresh photo: Retake meeting the checklist; re-upload to the same slot on UOM.
Try 3 — wrong slot: Confirm front vs 反面/护照签证页 before Need help? with the live error noted (blocker identity_upload_rejected).

How you know it is fixed: UOM accepts the file without an error on that row.

E2. I don't know which document this slot wants

Problem: Slot labels do not match what you have on hand.

Try 1 — match the verbatim titles: Slot 1 = handheld front; slot 2 = handheld back / passport visa page; slot 3 = optional 其他.
Try 2 — example control: Use 示例查看 on slot 1 in live UOM if present.
Try 3 — unresolved label: If a live label is not in the reference screenshot, treat it as unverified and Need help? with blocker upload_slot_unclear.

How you know it is fixed: You can name which physical page goes in each required slot.

E3. My document photo keeps failing quality

Problem: UOM or your own preview shows blur, glare, or unreadable text.

Try 1 — light: Daylight or even room light; avoid direct flash bounce on the laminate.
Try 2 — distance / focus: Fill the frame with face + document; tap to focus; hold steady.
Try 3 — background: Plain dark surface; arms fully in frame if the example diagram requires it (see Step 3 specimen).

How you know it is fixed: At 100% zoom, name and number are readable and the person is unobscured.

E4. My screen looks different / no upload section

Problem: You do not see this three-row upload table.

Try 1 — wizard stage: Confirm you finished identity + contact fields and reached the upload table (columns 序号 / 文件标题 / 文件名称), not credentials or face QR alone.
Try 2 — Web vs App:
Try 3 — changed UI: Match only labels you can read that also appear in this reference screenshot. Live UOM for this panel remains unverified here.

How you know it is fixed: You can identify the three slots on your session — or Need help?.

E5. I can't photograph my passport well

Problem: Physical constraints make a clear handheld shot difficult.

Try 1 — flat surface first: Place the open passport flat, then hold it up in the same lighting once text is sharp.
Try 2 — no flash / daylight: Soft light from the side; avoid washing the MRZ and photo.
Try 3 — both required pages: Capture front/data for slot 1 and the visa/back page named in slot 2 separately — combine images only if live UOM asks for it.

How you know it is fixed: Both required slots accept clear handheld images on UOM.

Confirm only after required uploads succeed on official UOM. This does not mean account approval — manual document review comes after submission. No WeChat face check is required for the passport route.

Step 6 · Passport review route

Confirm the passport review route

Instructional reconstruction for international travelers. This is not a current UOM screenshot; check live labels and conditions.

Passport users upload photos for manual review

The available reference guidance separates passport holders from Chinese identity-card holders. A WeChat face check was not required in the documented foreign-passport route. If current UOM asks for it, verify the exact requirement before proceeding. Your main identity photo shows you holding the open passport photo / personal-information page, with your face and the document text clearly visible.

Use the for any additional back / visa-page slot. If you have no visa page because your visit is visa-exempt, ask UOM what evidence it accepts for that slot. An extra document is not automatically required for every traveler.

The WeChat QR dialog shown in general registration tutorials is for the identity-card route. You do not need to install WeChat to follow this passport guide.

Check before account submission

Your selected document type is 护照 / Passport and the identity details match your passport.
The required document uploads in your UOM form are complete and readable.
You understand that submitting the account starts manual review; it does not mean approval or aircraft registration is complete.

If your screen is different

UOM shows a face-check QR or a different document step

Confirm that you selected 护照, rather than 身份证 / Chinese identity card. If the passport path still shows a different requirement, read the live notice or contact UOM before continuing. Do not change your identity type to copy a general tutorial.

Continue to submit the account, then wait for the document-review result in Steps 7–8.

Step 7 · Submit account

Submit the account for review

Instructional reconstruction for international travelers. This is not a current UOM screenshot; check live labels and conditions.

Do this now — on official UOM only

Confirm identity, address/contact, and uploads are done on official UOM (Steps 3–5).
Check the foreign-passport document-review route (Step 6); no WeChat face check is required.
Click the live continue / submit control UOM shows (often 下一步 in the reference screenshots — match your session).
Keep the submission record / SMS channel reachable. Submitting is not approval.

Pre-submit cross-check

matches the passport data page.
— reachable email / SMS path.
accepted on UOM.
You are on official UOM, not this guide.

If this fails

E1. UOM will not accept submit / account looks missing

Problem: You cannot finish the wizard or the session looks lost.

Try 1: Stay on the same official tab; do not open a second registration in parallel.
Try 2:
Try 3: Need help? with blocker account_missing — confirm the result on UOM.

E2. My screen looks different

Problem: No clear submit control matching the reference screenshots.

Try 1: Match only labels you can read (下一步 / live submit wording).
Try 2: Exact final-submit chrome remains unverified here — follow live UOM, then Need help? if stuck.

Confirm only after you submitted on official UOM. Next: the review result check — submitting ≠ approved.

Step 8 · Account review

What does UOM show now?

You can close this page and return later — progress resumes at this step on this device.

Account review state

What does UOM / your SMS show now? Under review / nothing yet Approved (I received an approval SMS / UOM says passed) Rejected (I received a rejection SMS / UOM names a problem) Still waiting (I am counting days) Account / login appears missing

Step 9 · Aircraft entry

Open aircraft real-name registration

9.1 · What you should see — real-name registration entry

Official UOM post-login area: 实名登记 sidebar and branded / self-built registration toolbar — **实名登记** / Real-name registration
**注册品牌无人机** / Register a branded drone
**注册自制无人机** / Register a self-built drone

Not shown in the reference: Exact how you land on this post-login shell after account approval (home tile vs menu) is not shown beyond this reference screenshot. Match live UOM; follow the Chinese labels in your live session.

Do this now — on official UOM only

Log in on official UOM with the approved account from Step 8.
Open ① 实名登记 / Real-name registration (sidebar entry in the reference screenshot).
Choose the route: for a retail branded aircraft → ② 注册品牌无人机 / Register a branded drone.
Confirm the owner information uses your approved passport identity. WeChat face verification belongs to the identity-card route. If an unexpected face-check prompt blocks your passport account, confirm the document type and ask UOM before continuing.
Continue until you reach the manufacturer / product-model selection screen — that is Step 10.

What to choose

注册品牌无人机 / Register a branded drone: Use this for DJI, Autel, Parrot, and other retail branded aircraft. This is the only route this guide guides in Steps 10+.
注册自制无人机 / Register a self-built drone: Visible in the reference screenshot. CAAC AP-45-01R6 covers 个人自制 as a rule category, but this guide has no field-by-field walkthrough of that route for self-built / FPV. Do not improvise — use E2 below.
Manufacturer / model screen: Step 9 ends when you reach that screen. Filling manufacturer and exact model is Step 10.

Check before continuing

You are logged in with the approved account from Steps 1–8 (not a second identity).
You picked 注册品牌无人机 if your aircraft is a retail branded drone.
The screen you reached shows manufacturer / product-model selection (labels such as 生产厂家名称 / 产品型号 in Step 10’s figure).

If this fails

E1. I can’t find 实名登记 after login

Problem: You cannot locate the real-name registration entry.

Try 1 — match the reference screenshot: Look for the left sidebar item 实名登记 (not 注销登记 / 抢注申诉).
Try 2 — Web vs App: This reference screenshot is from the website. App layout may differ — match only labels you can read.
Try 3 — changed UI: Follow the menu labels in your live UOM session. Use Need help? with blocker aircraft_entry_not_found.

How you know it is fixed: You can open 实名登记 and see the branded / self-built toolbar routes — or a specialist has your blocker.

E2. My drone is self-built / FPV / not a retail brand

Problem: Your aircraft is not a retail branded product, or UOM only offers 注册自制无人机.

Honest limit: The reference screenshot shows 注册自制无人机, and CAAC rules mention 个人自制 — but field-level UI for that route is not documented here yet in this guide. Steps 10+ only guide the branded route.
Do not: invent Chinese field labels, copy a branded model, or create a second account to “force” a brand.
Next: Need help? with blocker aircraft_route_unsupported — carry brand/model context if you have it.

How you know it is fixed: A specialist has confirmed the self-built / FPV path for your case, or you correctly use the branded route for a retail aircraft.

E3. Login fails / account not recognized

Problem: You cannot log in with the account from Steps 1–8.

Try 1: Credentials only on official UOM — never in this guide.
Try 2: Return to and use Account / login appears missing there (same recovery — not duplicated here).
Try 3: Need help? with blocker aircraft_login_issue if Step 8 still cannot resolve it. Do not open a second identity.

Step 9 ends when manufacturer / model selection is on screen. Confirm below — Step 10 then fills those fields. Previewing Step 10 from the outline before that confirm does not complete this step.

Step 10 · Manufacturer & model

Select the exact manufacturer and model

10.1 · What you should see — manufacturer selector

UOM manufacturer picker showing DJI legal name 深圳市大疆创新科技有限公司 — **生产厂商名称** / Manufacturer name (list column)
**深圳市大疆创新科技有限公司** / DJI legal manufacturer name
选择 / Select

Not shown in the reference: Exact search-by-English-name behavior and full open-list contents beyond this reference screenshot are not verified. Use live UOM search results.

10.2 · What you should see — product model selector

UOM product model picker with DJI product names and model codes — **产品型号** / Product model (code column)
**产品名称** / Product name (retail)
选择 / Select

Not shown in the reference: Whether your exact model appears on another page of the live list is only knowable in your session. Other brands’ model lists are not shown in these reference screenshots.

Do this now — on official UOM only

Open the manufacturer picker (dialog like 选择生产厂商).
Find and 选择 the correct legal manufacturer (see lookup below for DJI).
Open the product-model picker (选择产品型号).
Search / scroll until 产品名称 matches your Step 0 selection exactly — including suffix — then 选择.

What to enter

Manufacturer lookup (only what the reference screenshot shows)

Brand	Legal name in UOM (from the reference screenshot)
DJI	深圳市大疆创新科技有限公司

Only DJI’s legal name is transcribed from the manufacturer-list reference screenshot above. For Autel, Parrot, or others: search the English brand on live UOM, then verify the Chinese legal name in the results — not shown in the reference here. Do not invent a legal company name.

生产厂商名称 / Manufacturer name: Select the legal entity that matches your aircraft’s brand. For DJI, use the row shown in the reference screenshot above — not a lookalike entity on the same list page.
产品名称 / Product name (+ 产品型号 code): Match your Step 0 exact model string. Cross-check the aircraft label / app reading from Step 0. Never pick a near-match (e.g. Mini 3 vs Mini 3 Pro vs Mini 4 Pro).

Check before continuing

Manufacturer is the brand’s legal entry on your live screen (for DJI: 深圳市大疆创新科技有限公司 per the reference screenshot).
Model matches your Step 0 selection exactly (name + suffix).
Not a lookalike row from the same list.
Selected on official UOM only — never paste identity into this guide.

If this fails

E1. I can’t find the manufacturer

Problem: The legal manufacturer entry does not appear.

Try 1 — search: Use 查询 in the dialog. For DJI, search toward 深圳市大疆创新科技有限公司. For other brands, try the English brand first, then confirm the Chinese legal name in live results.
Try 2 — scroll / pages: The reference screenshot shows 共 2404 条 — open later pages; do not stop at page 1.
Try 3 — Web vs App / changed UI: Match only labels you can read. Need help? with blocker manufacturer_not_found.

E2. My exact model is not listed

Problem: You cannot find an exact 产品名称 match.

Try 1: Re-confirm the manufacturer, then re-open the model dialog fully and search / scroll all pages (共 73 条 for DJI in this reference screenshot — yours may differ).
Try 2: Compare near-name rows the list actually shows (e.g. Mini 3 vs Mini 2 SE vs Mavic 3 Pro vs Mavic 3 Pro Cine in the reference screenshot). Pick an exact match only — never a near-match.
Try 3: If the aircraft is self-built / FPV / modified, this is not a model-search problem — use (honest limit — use Need help?).
Still unresolved: Need help? with blocker model_not_found — a missing model is a legitimate handoff, not a DIY failure.

E3. The list shows my brand but models look wrong / outdated

Problem: Manufacturer seems right, but the model list does not match your product line.

Try 1: You may have picked a lookalike legal entity (the reference screenshot shows more than one DJI-related name). Re-open manufacturer and select the DJI row 深圳市大疆创新科技有限公司 shown in the reference screenshot when your brand is DJI.
Try 2: Clear filters (清空), search again, then Need help? with model_alias if still wrong.

E4. My screen looks different

Problem: Layout or labels do not match the reference screenshots.

Try 1 — Web vs App:
Try 2: Match only transcribed labels (选择生产厂商, 选择产品型号, 选择). Do not invent Chinese field names.
Try 3: Need help? with blocker uom_screen_differs.

Step 10 ends when manufacturer + exact model are selected on UOM. Next is aircraft serial and usage (Step 11).

Step 11 · Serial & usage

Enter the aircraft serial and actual usage

11.1 · What you should see — serial and usage

Official UOM form: product serial SN field and usage checkboxes including 娱乐 and 航拍 — **产品序列号/出厂序号(SN)** / Registration serial
**区分大小写** / Case-sensitive
**使用用途** / Usage
**娱乐 · 航拍** / Recreation · Aerial photography

Summary of the on-screen list (usage checkboxes)

Required field 使用用途. Options transcribed from the reference screenshot (checked state in the guide is a demo — do not copy every check):

娱乐 — Recreation / leisure
航拍 — Aerial photography
测绘 — Surveying / mapping
安防 — Security
警用 — Police use
管网巡线作业 — Pipeline / network inspection
物流运输 — Logistics / transport
农林牧渔作业 — Agriculture / forestry / animal husbandry / fishery
外挂载荷作业 — External-load operations
降水融雪作业 — Precipitation / snow-melting operations
应急救灾 — Emergency / disaster relief
试验飞行 — Test flight
勘察 — Investigation / prospecting

Tourist mapping: for a leisure / trip drone, choose 娱乐. Also check 航拍 if you photograph on the trip. Leave commercial / institutional boxes unchecked unless they truly apply.

Not shown in the reference: Whether empty weight / category auto-fill can be edited safely for foreign branded aircraft is not verified. Do not change auto-filled weight or category just to make a model “fit.”

Do this now — on official UOM only

Confirm manufacturer + exact model from Step 10 are already selected (this form comes after that).
Select the 产品序列号/出厂序号(SN) radio (not 唯一产品识别码, unless that is what your aircraft uses).
Type the aircraft SN character-by-character into the live field — case as shown. Never paste a serial into this guide.
Under 使用用途, check 娱乐 for leisure/trip use (and 航拍 only if it applies).

What to enter

产品序列号/出厂序号(SN) / Product serial (case-sensitive)

Where to find it: use (DJI Fly → ··· → 关于 → 飞机序列号, plus the airframe label). Discovery is not re-taught here.

How to type it: match letter case; watch 0/O, 1/I, 5/S, 8/B. Read it back twice before leaving the field. Do not append check digits that are not printed.

Cross-step check: the SN you type must match the physical label photo you will upload in Step 12 — and the note you prepared in Step 0.

使用用途 / Usage

For a leisure/trip drone, choose 娱乐 as shown. Add 航拍 only if aerial photography describes your actual use. Do not copy the reference screenshot’s many other checked boxes.

Privacy: this guide stores only a local “verified twice” flag (and optional serial-status), never the serial characters.

Confirm: I checked the serial number twiceI compared every character, including uppercase/lowercase and 0/O or 1/I, with the value on official UOM. This website does not store the serial itself.

Which serial-number situation matches your aircraft?

Choose one. You do not need to type or paste the actual serial number.

Not checked yetI still need to confirm the aircraft serial.Correct aircraft serial foundThe aircraft number and label match.Product and flight-controller serial differI need to resolve which value UOM expects.I cannot identify itI need help finding the correct aircraft serial.

Check before continuing

Serial is the aircraft serial — not battery, controller, charger, or gimbal.
Case + ambiguous characters read back twice.
Serial matches your Step 0 note and the label photo you will upload in Step 12.
Usage matches tourist non-commercial use on your live screen (娱乐; 航拍 only if true).

If this fails

E1. UOM rejects the serial / I cannot identify it

Problem: Live UOM rejects the typed SN, or you are unsure which string to enter.

Try 1: Re-read from the physical label (not the app alone). Re-check 0/O, 1/I, 5/S, 8/B and letter case. Do not append anything that is not printed.
Try 2 — product SN vs flight-controller SN: open . Manufacturer guidance vs UOM expectation for a mismatch remains unverified here.
Still unresolved: Need help? with blocker serial_not_found — never paste the serial into this guide.

E2. I don’t know which usage option to pick

Problem: The checkbox list is unclear for a tourist trip.

Try 1 — tourist mapping: choose 娱乐 for leisure/trip use; add 航拍 only if you photograph. Leave police / logistics / agriculture boxes unchecked unless they truly apply.
Try 2: Match options by the visible Chinese text on your live screen (the list above comes from the reference screenshot). If your live list differs, prefer personal/non-commercial meanings — not shown in the reference beyond that reference screenshot.
Still no plausible option: Need help? with blocker usage_uncertain.

E3. My screen looks different / no serial field

Problem: Serial or usage fields are missing or labels differ.

Try 1 — wizard stage: finish manufacturer + exact model first (); this panel follows that selection.
Try 2 — Web vs App:
Try 3: Match only transcribed labels. Need help? with uom_screen_differs.

E4. Serial on label differs from the app

Problem: Product SN and flight-controller / app SN disagree.

Try 1: Follow Try 3 (conflict branch). Set serial status above to “Product / flight-controller serial differ.”
Try 2: Manufacturer guidance says UOM may want the flight-controller SN when they differ — that expectation is unverified on live UOM here. Keep both strings privately for review.
Unresolved: Need help? with serial_or_photo — still never paste serials into this guide.

Step 11 ends when serial + usage are entered on UOM. Next is aircraft and serial photos (Step 12) — the SN must match the label photo.

Step 12 · Aircraft photos

Upload the aircraft and serial photos

12.1 · What you should see — photo upload slots

Official UOM aircraft photo upload: empty 正面 and 产品序列号照片 slots with JPG/JPEG/PNG ≤10M note — 正面 / Front — whole-aircraft photo
**产品序列号照片** / Product serial photo

Do this now — on official UOM only

Confirm serial + usage from Step 11 are already entered (this panel follows that).
Prepare two photos on your device (checklist below) — do not paste them into this guide.
On official UOM, upload slot ① 正面 (whole aircraft) and slot ② 产品序列号照片.
Cross-step check (required): read the SN visible in photo ② and the SN you typed in Step 11 character-by-character. If they differ, fix the UOM entry or retake the photo — never upload a mismatch.

What to upload — only on official UOM

Never paste aircraft or serial-label photos into this guide. Upload only on official UOM. Help-drawer screenshots use the existing handoff path — no new photo upload here.

Upload slot (verbatim)	What to provide	Preparation check
正面 / Front	Whole-aircraft product photo — every prop/arm visible, model recognizable.	Daylight; plain background; no covering hands/objects. On-screen note: clear 整机 photo.
产品序列号照片 / Product serial photo	Photo of the serial label with enough aircraft around it to show where the label sits.	SN fully readable at 100% zoom; no glare. Must match Step 11’s typed SN exactly.

File requirements (reference screenshot)

Formats visible here: JPG / JPEG / PNG — PDF is not listed for aircraft photos (unlike Step 5 identity uploads).
Size: cannot exceed 10M (transcribed from the on-screen note).
If UOM rejects a file, read the live error — follow the limit shown by UOM.

Generic identity-upload recovery (read live error → retry same slot) is owned by . Step 12 resolvers below cover aircraft-photo failures only.

Check before continuing

Photo ①: whole aircraft visible, model identifiable.
Photo ②: SN readable at 100% zoom and matches Step 11’s entry character-by-character.
Both files open on your device; shot in daylight, no glare.
Uploads done on official UOM only.

If this fails

E1. Upload rejected / file not accepted

Problem: Official UOM rejects an aircraft-photo file.

Try 1 — read the live error: same pattern as (copy the exact message). The reference screenshot shows JPG/JPEG/PNG and ≤10M for aircraft photos.
Try 2 — resize / re-export: export as JPG or PNG under 10M; retry the same slot on UOM.
Try 3 — correct slot: ① = whole aircraft (正面); ② = serial label (产品序列号照片). Need help? with photo_rejected if still blocked.

How you know it is fixed: UOM accepts the file on that slot without an error.

E2. Photo fails quality / “unclear” rejection

Problem: UOM (or your preview) rejects the shot for clarity — these are object photos, not Step 5 document/handheld photos.

Try 1 — distance / focus: fill the frame; tap to focus; hold steady.
Try 2 — light: daylight; side lighting to kill glare on the label; clean the lens.
Try 3 — background: plain surface; no hands covering props or the SN. Re-shoot and re-upload on UOM.

How you know it is fixed: At 100% zoom the model (①) or SN (②) is sharp and readable.

E3. Serial in photo doesn’t match what I entered

Problem: Characters in photo ② disagree with the Step 11 UOM entry.

Label is the source of truth: if the physical label is clear, re-enter that SN on UOM (Step 11 field) — watch 0/O, 1/I, 5/S, 8/B and letter case.
If the photo is wrong: retake photo ② (angle, focus, glare) so every character matches the label.
Never upload a mismatch. Need help? with serial_photo_mismatch — still never paste the serial into this guide.

E4. I don’t know which label on the drone is the serial

Problem: Multiple stickers; unsure which is the aircraft SN.

Try 1: open (ownership for SN discovery).
Reminder: not the battery, controller, charger, or gimbal serial.
Unresolved: Need help? with serial_or_photo.

E5. My screen looks different / no upload step

Problem: Photo slots are missing or labels differ.

Try 1 — wizard stage: finish serial + usage first (); this upload section follows that panel.
Try 2 — Web vs App:
Try 3 — changed UI: match only transcribed labels (正面 / 产品序列号照片). Need help? with uom_screen_differs.

Confirm only after both slots succeed on official UOM and photo ② matches Step 11. Next is review + declaration — not yet.

Step 13 · Review & declaration

Review the record and declaration

13.1 · What you should see — declaration and submit

Older UOM reference image: UOM declaration checkbox and complete-registration control; numbered Chinese and English explanations are contained at the right within this same image view. — Historical UOM reference · CTD bilingual annotations added in the same visual frame. Check live UOM before acting.

Do this now — on official UOM only

Stay on the aircraft registration panel that shows your photos, the red 声明, and 完成注册.
Run the cross-check table below against the live UOM fields — fix mismatches on UOM first (E1).
Only when every row matches, tick 声明 on official UOM.
Do not click 完成注册 yet — that is Step 14.

Cross-check before ticking 声明

Read each UOM field against this list BEFORE ticking 声明. A mismatch → fix on UOM first (E1).

UOM review field	Must match	Set in
Owner name	Passport data page
Document type + number	Passport
Contact (phone / email)	Your reachable contacts
Manufacturer + exact model	Step 0 selection
Serial	Physical label + your Step 11 entry
Usage	Tourist non-commercial (娱乐)
Both photos	Accepted; SN photo matches serial

Declaration — summary only

Check before continuing

Every cross-check row matches what UOM shows now.
声明 is ticked on official UOM only.
You have not submitted yet (完成注册 waits for Step 14).
No private values were pasted into this guide.

If this fails

E1. The review panel shows a wrong value

Problem: A field on live UOM does not match the cross-check table.

Identify the field in the table above (owner, document, contact, model, serial, usage, or photos).
Open the owning step with the link in that row — fix the value on official UOM using that step’s guidance (do not re-enter secrets here).
Return here and re-read the row before ticking 声明. Need help? with review_mismatch if still blocked.

How you know it is fixed: Every table row matches the live UOM review fields.

E2. I don’t understand the declaration

Problem: The Chinese checkbox text is unclear.

Item 1: You affirm the application content is true and accurate.
Item 2: You accept responsibility if any part is false.
Still unclear: Need help? with declaration_unclear — ask for clarification if the declaration is unclear.

E3. My screen looks different / no declaration checkbox

Problem: You cannot find 声明 or the footer controls.

Try 1 — wizard stage: finish both photo uploads first (); declaration sits on the same aircraft panel after photos.
Try 2 — Web vs App:
Try 3 — changed UI: match only transcribed labels. Need help? with uom_screen_differs.

Step 13 ends when the cross-check passes and 声明 is ticked on UOM. Next is a single click of 完成注册 (Step 14).

Step 14 · Submit aircraft

Submit the aircraft registration

Instructional reconstruction for international travelers. This is not a current UOM screenshot; check live labels and conditions.

What you should see

Same aircraft panel as Step 13 — the primary blue 完成注册 control next to 关闭. Open if you need the annotated region (single-evidence-occurrence — not duplicated here).

Do this now — on official UOM only

Confirm Step 13’s cross-check passed and 声明 is ticked. The button may refuse otherwise (unverified exact gating — if disabled, start with the unticked-声明 check).
Click 完成注册 exactly once. Do not double-click. Do not refresh while the platform processes.
Wait for UOM to respond. A slow load is not proof of failure (processing chrome unverified).
Note what the screen shows next — Step 15 will ask you to classify it.

What happens next — expectation (not a promise)

Per available evidence, both outcomes are possible after the click. Neither is promised for your session:

Immediate result — a success / QR / confirmation screen may appear right away (operational references and traveler reports show success-style screens for some paths).
Review / pending first — the record may enter a waiting state before a final mark is shown. Treating “submitted” as “registration complete” is wrong.

Check before continuing

声明 was ticked and the Step 13 cross-check passed.
You clicked 完成注册 once and gave the platform time to respond.
You observed and remember what the screen showed next (for Step 15).

If this fails

E1. 完成注册 is disabled / nothing happens

Problem: The button will not click or does nothing.

Try 1 — declaration: Confirm 声明 is ticked () — most likely cause when the control is inert.
Try 2 — incomplete fields: Scan the live panel for error markers; fix via the owning step (photos → ; serial/usage → ; model → ).
Try 3 — Web vs App: then Need help? with submit_blocked.

E2. Error dialog right after clicking

Problem: UOM shows an error immediately after submit.

Try 1: Read the live error text; keep it privately (never paste secrets into this guide).
Try 2: Correct only the field the error names, using the owning step link if clear.
Unresolved: Need help? with submit_error — attach a screenshot via the floating help drawer’s existing handoff path if needed.

E3. Screen went blank / session lost after click

Problem: The tab cleared or you were logged out after clicking.

Do not re-submit immediately — avoid creating a duplicate aircraft record (traveler-reported risk).
Re-login using the approved account ( E3 / login recovery pattern).
Check 实名登记 first for a pending or existing record for this aircraft before clicking 完成注册 again. Then Need help? if the list is unclear.

Step 14 ends when you have seen UOM’s next screen — not when registration is “done.” Step 15 classifies that screen.

Step 15 · Result

Confirm what UOM actually shows

You can close this page and return later — progress resumes at this step on this device. Fix a rejection on UOM, then reclassify here without recreating the flow.

What does UOM show after 完成注册?

Choose only what your live screen actually shows. Scrolling here or leaving the default does not count as success.

Aircraft registration result A. Registration successful — list / mark / QR visible B. Submitted / under review — no final mark yet C. Rejected / error — live error or rejection message D. I don’t understand this screen

Canonical success is recorded only when you click the primary button with state A selected. Pending / rejected / unclear never complete this step.

Step 16 · Save mark

Save the registration mark and QR

What you should see

Reference: (登记标识 / 二维码 on the 实名登记 list — shown once there, not re-embedded here). Your task now is to save that mark from live UOM.

Do this now — on official UOM only

Locate the save control. Prefer 发送二维码 on your registered-aircraft row (send the mark / QR to your registered email). Or double-click 二维码 to enlarge, then use any official download / right-click save your platform offers. Download-icon chrome beyond 发送二维码 is unverified.
Save to your device via that official path. Open the file and confirm the QR is sharp and readable at 100% zoom.
Honest fallback only: screenshot the enlarged QR if the official send/download path is not available on your platform. Screenshot is never the preferred method.

What you saved

登记标识 · Registration mark: Official CAAC aircraft registration identifier for this drone.
二维码 · QR code: Machine-readable form of the mark; authorities may request it during flight checks.

Why you need it: law enforcement or venue security may ask to see it · some no-fly unlocks reference it. Both are tied to the aircraft serial you entered. Update / transfer flows exist on UOM — not covered here.

Check before finishing

Saved from official UOM (prefer 发送二维码 / official download — not only a casual photo of the screen).
QR is readable at 100% zoom in the saved file.
You know where the file is on your device.
You are on official UOM only — this site never stores your mark.

If this fails

E1. No save / download button visible

Look for 发送二维码 on the registered-aircraft row.
Double-click 二维码 to enlarge; then right-click / long-press the image.
Screenshot the enlarged QR only as an honest fallback — not the preferred path.
Still stuck → Need help? with save_not_found (floating drawer).

E2. Saved file is unreadable / corrupted

Re-save from UOM via 发送二维码 or another official export if offered.
Try a different format only if UOM offers one.
Unresolved → Need help? with save_not_found.

E3. I closed the success screen before saving

Re-open the 实名登记 list ().
Find your registered aircraft row — the mark / QR should still be there.
Save again with the steps above.
