NMC will send mariners credential application status updates via e-mail


The National Maritime Center has introduced a new service that will automatically send status updates to mariners via e-mail, informing them as their credential applications move through the Coast Guard evaluation process.

Mariners who provide an e-mail address with their credential application will receive notification via e-mail when their individual application is sent from an REC to the NMC, awaiting medical evaluation, being evaluated by medical reviewers, awaiting professional evaluation, being evaluated for professional qualifications, awaiting information, approved to test, approved to print, issued, and confirmed as delivered. Reminder e-mails will be sent when the application is awaiting information or approved to test.

The NMC anticipates these e-mail updates will be in real time or possibly ahead of information available on the Application Status Checker. In order to receive the e-mail updates, mariners should ensure the address “donotreply_MMLD_NOTIFICATION@uscg.mil” is not being routed to spam or junk mail.

The full announcement is available online.
