Renewing my OUPV license; Medical. The first step in renewing your OUPV is having a valid medical certificate. You either need to have an unexpired medical certificate or submit a medical certificate application.
Getting your USCG medical certificate is easy.
- Print off a CG-719K form from the USCG NMC Medical website.
- Schedule your medical exam with a physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner who is licensed in the US or US Territory.
- Bring the printed form CG-719K with you to your medical exam appointment.
- Have your medical provider complete and sign the form.
- After your exam, submit the completed CG-719K/E through Navita, the Coast Guard's new submission portal. Inside Navita you first re-enter your information into an online version of the CG-719K. That version is unofficial, just a paperwork step the Coast Guard now puts in front of the real submission, and Navita will not let you upload your signed, completed form until you finish it.
Make sure you send the completed form as a PDF. Include your full name and mariner reference number if you have one on the document. The PDF must be under 75MB.

MM-SEAS is free to use on your own and if you need some more personalized help you can upgrade to MM-SEAS Expert Access inside of the site.
No matter what, when you are ready to submit your application you can do it yourself, or you can hand the whole thing to us. An MM-SEAS Navita Navigator walks you through submitting in Navita, the Coast Guard's new submission portal, on a short video call. No computer, or not up for a video call? Our team gets your application submitted to the Coast Guard for you anyway. A Stress-Free MMC is $399. Two MM-SEAS licensing experts check every page, we pay your Coast Guard fees at submission and charge your card so you never touch pay.gov, and we stay on it with the National Maritime Center until your credential is issued.
MM-SEAS Expert Access is $99 a year. It is your personal guidance counselor for USCG licensing: what training you need next, which sea time counts, and how to reach the credential you want, by phone, email, chat or a 1 on 1 video call. Expert Access members also get $50 off a Stress-Free MMC.
