Exact is independent. We are not a government body and we do not carry out any procedure on your behalf.

What this is

The seafarer's identity document is a specific travel and identification document issued to seafarers in accordance with international standards (notably ILO Convention No. 185). It certifies the holder's status as a maritime professional and facilitates border crossings, shore leave during port calls, and access to secure port areas.

At the counter

What readers say they paid

The law sets a fee. At the counter it is not always the one you pay. Here is what readers report, counted and summarised.

Nobody has reported an amount for this procedure yet.

If you have done it, say what you paid. We publish the figures together, never your account on its own.

Report what I paid

No name, no number, no link. We refuse those.

We publish how many reports there are, the range and the median. Never your report on its own, never an official's name, never a named office.
