How to replace your certificate of competency

The documents you will need to replace your certificate of competency depend on the type of certificate you hold.

Prepare your documents

Medical fitness

To replace a Master <45m, Master <100m, MED 1, or Engineer Class 3 you must submit a Certificate of medical fitness.

If your previous Certificate of medical fitness has expired, download the Certificate of medical fitness for domestic seafarers (AMSA form 1850) and follow the instructions on the form.

For all other certificates, you will need to either:

  • provide a Certificate of medical fitness.
