Making the digital licence plate transferable for UA without built-in remote identification capabilities is one suggestion that CAAS has accepted, following a month-long public consultation that ended on Oct 1. It received 236 responses from the public, as well as community and industry groups.
The digital licence plate, known as Broadcast Remote Identification (B-RID), transmits information about the UA's position and the location of its operator.
CAAS said in September that from Dec 1, 2025, UA users must comply with new regulations requiring UA weighing more than 250g to have B-RID.
A UA is considered to be equipped with B-RID when it has either built-in B-RID capability or a B-RID module attached to it.
In Singapore, the majority of new UA in the market and more than half of UA registered with CAAS in 2024 are equipped with built-in B-RID modules.
