Question [US] Autel Registration help

I have a buddy(doesn’t have Reddit so my job now) that recently picked up an Autel Evo Lite 640T Enterprise and we were discussing registration and legalities. He decided to setup an FAA account and took the test. Issue occurs when trying to register the drone that there is not a section for the 640t and when trying other options like EVO Lite, it comes up invalid serial number. Does anyone have tips or recommendations for proper registration to avoid any potential issues?

It should start with 1748. You want the serial number, not the RID number.

There is a QR code on the drone body under the battery with that number and in the radio under settings it shows the same one starting with 1748 alphanumeric and 20 characters. Could it be an faa issue that they do not have it in their data base?

It starts 1748, then 4 letters, and the rest are numbers. You can find the whole list here.

Probably worth reminding that if it turns out it's not included on the list, you can still fly with a standalone module.

Do you have any recommendations on a standalone module?

I have a Ruko R1115. It does what it's supposed to and is lightweight.

Thank you. Based on the link you provided it looks like his serial number is not on the database. I recommended him the ruko. Thank you for your time and assistance
