Yes. It's required by US law.

See more details here.

By law, yes you do. Your FAA registration number MUST be displayed on the outside of your drone.

How do you all display yours? I wrote it on the underside of the Battery

I use these vinyl decals that I make.

I put mine on a Dymo label. Along with the FAA registration number I also put my phone number in case I ever lose it.

Also, the battery is not the best place to put it since the battery is not a permanent part of the drone itself. Batteries can be easily swapped, but more importantly they can separate from the drone in case of a crash. It is best to put it on the actual body of the drone.

True. But, oddly enough, the FAA has no rule against marking removable parts. In fact, I was told (by the FAA) that marking even just one prop would satisfy their rule.

With that said, marking anything but the body doesn't make much sense unless one is trying to skirt the rules.
