Our Stress-Free Application service is $249 + Pay.gov fees. One flat rate ensures your Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC) application is complete, accurate, and submitted correctly the first time. When you submit a stress free application we charge you the $249. If your application requires federal fees, we calculate and pay the exact pay.gov fees on your behalf and then charge your card the exact pay.gov fees as a separate transaction.
No, the $249 fee is paid when we submit your application. This covers our expert review, corrections, and full submission of your application to the USCG - with the exact USCG government fee charged separately as a pass-through cost.
Pay.gov fees are the official U.S. Coast Guard processing charges for your credential application. These fees go directly to the government and vary depending on whether you are applying for an original credential, a renewal, or an upgrade. MM-SEAS does not keep any portion of these fees.
Your $249 covers:
No, MM-SEAS is a separate service from your school tuition. Tuition covers your coursework and training; MM-SEAS covers your licensing paperwork and approval process.
Yes! As a Mariners Learning System student, you receive complimentary MM-SEAS EXPERT ACCESS FOR TWO YEARS (a $99/year value) when you submit through our service. That means you get unlimited access to our licensing experts and support, included at no additional cost.
