How to Renew Your USCG License Step 3: A valid Medical Certificate

Описание: Renewing your USCG License made simple. A valid Medical Certificate

We get a lot of questions at MM-SEAS about renewing USCG Licenses so we made a series of videos to make it easier. This is Step 3 of a Nine Step series where we will go into detail on each step to renew your USCG License.

You need a valid medical certificate for the type of endorsement you are renewing.

It must either be an unexpired medical certificate or submit a medical certificate application.

Renewing your medical certificate is easy.

Print off a CG-719K/E form from the USCG NMC Medical website (https://www.dco.uscg.mil/nmc/medical_....

Schedule your medical exam with a physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner who is licensed in the US or US Territory. Bring the printed form CG-719K/E with you to your medical exam appointment and have your medical provider complete and sign the form.

After your exam, email the completed CG-719K/E form directly to [email protected]. Make sure to include your full name in the subject line of your email to medical. I usually use this format: Last, First, MMC Reference number. Mine would be: Gilman, Nate, 3473478.

That’s it. Once you’ve sent your completed CG-719K/E into [email protected] you are all set. Once it has been issued MM-SEAS will automatically update your alerts and reminder for your next medical renewal!

MM-SEAS makes the complicated USCG licensing process for Captains, Deckhands, Mates and Engineers simple with an easy to use software that does everything for you so you can get time back and stop worrying about your license.
