A Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC) issued on 9/18/2024 and after will contain a QR code. This move simplifies the verification process by using a smart phone’s camera to quickly navigate to the National Maritime Center’s website to verify the associated credential.
This enhancement will greatly aid in quickly verifying mariner credentials while performing surveys or audits.
The MMLD Credential Verification tool can still be used on the Coast Guard’s website.
