Well, I'm surprised.

I think the real reason the FAA wanted you to register a drone is so they could build up a nice mailing list they could sell.

You have to register your drone -- again

FYI, President Trump signed the 2018 National Defence Authorization a couple of days ago. Buried in the the legislation there is a mandatory requirement that drones be registered and the number displayed on the drone.

The good news is that if you originally registered your drone you are good to go. You do not have to register each drone. Once you are registered it is valid for 2 years I believe .

Civil penalties are fines up to $27,500 and criminal penalties are fines up to $250,000 and/or up to 3 years imprisonment.

Just to elaborate on Bob's answer (He was faster than me.) :) :
Failure to register an unmanned aircraft that is required to be registered may result in regulatory and criminal penalties. The FAA may assess civil penalties up to $27,500. Criminal penalties include fines of up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment for up to three years.

There is no one-size-fits-all enforcement action for violations. All aspects of a violation will be considered, along with mitigating and aggravating circumstances surrounding the violation. In general, the FAA will attempt to educate operators who fail to comply with registration requirements. However, fines will remain an option when egregious circumstances are present.

DJI also has DJI’s Geospatial Environment Online (GEO) is a best-in-class geospatial information system providing DJI users with up-to-date
guidance on areas where flight may be limited due to safety concerns or regulations. This provides DJI users with information
that will help them make smart decisions about where and when to fly.

GEO displays zones of various risk levels in which flight may pose safety or security concerns and allows users to unlock them.
Unlocking low-risk zones requires just a few taps or clicks, while high-risk zones require users to submit particular credentials
to ensure compliance with local policies and regulations.

And the "best in class" system apparently functions no matter where on the planet one is located. We are currently in the Philippines, at a location where there is a large field, perfect to fly over, that is not far from an airport. Each time we launch our DJI Mavic Pro, the map on the Remote Controller shows how close, or far, we are from the border of a No Fly zone.

In addition, the only Intelligent Flight Mode that functions is Tripod. None of the others that require lots of open space -- Active Track, Quickshots, etc. -- will function when flying in an area with a NFZ nearby.

Yet another fabulous function of the DJI map is that it informs us not only of the location but also of the orientation of the aircraft, i.e., which way the nose is pointing. The Mavic Pro's Obstruction sensors are located only on the nose and inferior aspect. What this means is that, when one does not have visual certainty of the location of any obstacles, it is important to always fly forward. The Phantoms have sensors on all sides, but they lack the portability of the MP.

The large open field has an east-west orientation. Last evening, we noted that the sun was setting at more or less the middle of the west end of this long field.
