Frequently Asked Questions

How much does MM-SEAS cost?

Our Stress-Free Application service is $349 including Pay.gov fees. That flat rate ensures your Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC) application is complete, accurate, and submitted correctly the first time.

Do I have to pay upfront?

No, the $349 fee is paid when we submit your application. This covers our expert review, corrections, and full submission of your application to the USCG.

What are Pay.gov fees?

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.

What do I get for $349?

Your $349 covers:

  • A Stress-Free Application built and submitted by our expert team
  • Real humans review your application to eliminate mistakes before submission
  • Free membership to MM-SEAS PRO (included with Maritime Institute partnership)
  • One-on-one, step-by-step guidance until your MMC is approved
Is this included in my tuition?

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.

Does MM-SEAS have a special deal for Maritime Institute students?

Yes! As a Maritime Institute student, you receive a complimentary MM-SEAS PRO membership (a $99 value) when you submit through our service. That means you get unlimited access to our licensing experts and lifetime support, included at no additional cost.
