The reader device includes a receiver configured to receive identification information transmitted from the UAV, and a transmitter configured to provide the received identification information to an identification server. The identification server includes a memory configured to store UAV registration information associated with the UAV, a receiver configured to receive the identification information provided by the reader device, and a processor configured to provide a verification of the identification information received by the reader based on the provided identification information and the stored UAV registration information.
