Starting this week, counter service appointments are available at several Regional Examination Centers operated by the National Maritime Center.
There will still be limited examination services. Mariners must make an appointment for counter and exam services and those who are late won’t be allowed and will have to reschedule. Mariners must be screened for COVID-19 and will be asked to reschedule if they show symptoms. Face masks are required unless mariners can provide health documentation. All fees must be paid upfront before the appointment. For exam appointments, mariners should have their pay.gov receipt, No. 2 pencils, photo identification, a non-programmable calculator and plotting equipment.
