It is free, however, you have create an account, and the request must be approved. You have to include a reason on the account to request it. There are quite a few acceptable reasons, however, so feel free to create an account if you wish, many of which aren't really professional at all.
Another service that doesn't require an account, but is quite useful, is https://celestrak.org/ . They may get their information direction from the operators, so it might even be more accurate then space-track.

1My request to Space-track was approved within a few seconds. So may be they are not really checking the reasons. I registered with an @edu mail address. – VolkanOzcan Jan 17 '18 at 08:14

Maybe it depends on the category? In any case, good to know. – PearsonArtPhoto Jan 17 '18 at 10:47
