What this is
These official and secure documents provide seafarers and recreational boaters with a professional identity or legal authorization to navigate. They legally prove seafarer status and facilitate travel, embarkation, and shore leave. Seafarer documents are regulated by the Ministry of Transport (Directorate of Maritime Affairs and Waterways), and the application process requires the following: proof of identity (national identity card, passport), a criminal record check, a medical certificate of fitness, proof of training or qualifications, and an employment contract or proof of embarkation. Payment of the required fees is mandatory for anyone engaged in maritime activity or wishing to operate a recreational craft.
