The following bulletin was released by the U.S. Coast Guard's National Maritime Center and is available online.
To continuously improve our services to mariners, the Coast Guard has established a new option for submission of medical certificate applications (CG-719K and CG-719KE forms). Beginning February 1, 2018, mariners may submit medical certificate only applications directly to the National Maritime Center (NMC). Regional Examination Centers (RECs) will continue to accept medical certificate application submissions as well.
The requirements for submission have not changed with the exception that, beginning on February 1, 2018, submissions to the NMC can be made via . Electronic submission requirements can be found on the NMC website.
At this time, direct submission to the NMC is only for the medical certificate application. Applications for a Merchant Mariner Credential (CG-719B/MMC) cannot be submitted directly to the NMC. Any e-mailed application for an MMC, with or without a medical certificate application, made directly to the NMC will be deleted and the applicant will get an e-mail response with directions on how to resubmit their application(s) to an REC.
If you have any questions, please contact the NMC Customer Service Center by , by calling 1-888-IASKNMC (427-5662), via our online chat system, or by visiting our website.
