Merchant Mariner Credentialing Fees
The National Maritime Center (NMC) is the government oversight for all credential evaluations and processing. The NMC has combined the individual merchant mariner's document, license, and certificate of registry, as well as the STCW into a single credential known as the Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC). The MMC is issued by the U.S. Coast Guard under Title 46, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 10 and serves as the mariner's qualification documentation.
