How to renew your Maritime Transport Operator Certificate
We want to make renewing your Maritime Transport Operator Certificate (MTOC) straightforward. Six months before your MTOC expires, we'll send you everything you need to renew it – to avoid delays, please then apply as soon as you can. Don’t wait.
If you haven’t applied within three months of our email, we'll send you a reminder but it's best to not wait.
It's important to apply before your MTOC expires because we can't renew an expired MTOC. Applying for a new one is a much longer process which includes a site visit. You'd also be unable to operate until we issue a new MTOC. We don’t want that to happen.
Please get in touch with us at [email protected] if your MTOC is due to expire within six months and you haven’t received an email from us. We’ll make sure we have the right contact information and send your application again.
If you’re concerned that you won’t be able to complete your application in the six months before your certificate is due to expire, please let us know. If your circumstances prevent you from completing the application form during that timeframe we may be able to send your application earlier.
