Apostille for Yacht Crew Documents

"What documents do yacht crew need apostilled?"

"Yacht crew typically need apostilled USCG Merchant Mariner Credentials (MMC), STCW certificates, and background checks. Flag state endorsements and GMDSS certificates may also require apostilles depending on the vessel flag and port of call."

"Does my USCG MMC need to be apostilled?"

"Yes. The USCG Merchant Mariner Credential is a federal document apostilled by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. We coordinate federal apostilles through our Washington, D.C. courier service."

"Which STCW certificates need to be apostilled?"

"STCW Basic Safety Training, Advanced Fire Fighting, Medical First Aid, and Proficiency in Survival Craft certificates are commonly required apostilled. The specific requirements depend on the vessel flag state and the crew member's rank."

"Can you apostille documents for crew working on yachts flagged in the Cayman Islands, BVI, or Marshall Islands?"

"Yes. We apostille documents for crew working on yachts flagged in all Hague Convention member countries. We are familiar with the specific requirements of popular yacht flag states including Cayman Islands, BVI, Marshall Islands, and Malta."
