The limited statutory exception for recreation requires registration of all aircraft weighing more than .55 pound (250 grams). The Holy Stone HS440 is light enough that it doesn't have to be registered with the FAA.
There is an exception for Educational purposes as well. If you are using the drone as a teaching aid there is a proviso in the law that you do not have to be licenced. You can not be using it for anything other than educational or recreational means.

All pilots should take a basic test to demonstrate understanding of basic safety and regulatory rules. You will recieve a certification upon completation. Your number will be recorded but there is no way to look up this number or your information so it is up to you to keep a copy of this certificate and present it if you are asked to when you are out flying. Save the PDF in a safe place.
Before You Fly App
Before You Fly App
Recreational users who only fly their drone for fun, now have an improved app – B4UFLY – to help show where they can and cannot fly with interactive maps.
The FAA has partnered with Aloft (formerly Kittyhawk) to redevelop the FAA's first mobile application, to improve the user experience so that recreational flyers know whether it is safe to fly their drone. The app provides situational awareness to recreational flyers and other drone users. It does not allow users to obtain airspace authorizations to fly in controlled airspace, which are only available through the FAA's Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC)
