It was almost 5 years ago when the new EU drone driving license was introduced back then. And since this is always valid for 5 years, the first driving licenses expire on 01.01.2026. There is now new information from the LBA on renewing or refreshing the drone driving license. Regardless of whether it's an A1/A3 or A2 license, this topic concerns all drone pilots!

Like many other drone pilots, you've probably already asked yourself the following:

• How do I renew my A2 remote pilot certificate?
• What do I have to do when my A2 drone license expires?
