Seafarer certificate expiry tracker
Date validity is not eligibility to deploy. Unexpired dates do not mean you are cleared to sail. Flags cite the planning assumption used. Do not enter passport numbers, scans, or medical details — dates and a private label only.

Renewal lead-time guidance
- STCW / COC revalidation: start ~3–6 months before expiry (STCW Reg. I/11 as a planning heuristic).
- ENG1 / PEME: maximum 2 years (1 year if under 18) per MLC 2006 A1.2 — book ~2–3 months out.
- Passport: many flags and ports refuse joiners with under 6 months remaining.
- Flag endorsement (CRD) cannot outlast the underlying COC.
Confirm the exact rule with the issuing authority, flag state, manning agency, or principal. This tool is informational and is not legal, medical, or manning clearance.
