Procedure details

You need a valid radio certificate to participate in the mobile maritime radio service or inland navigation radio service.

There are two types of radio certificates for the maritime radio service:

  • The general radio operator's certificate, also known as the Long Range Certificate (LRC), entitles you to participate in VHF, border and short wave as well as the mobile maritime radio service via satellite, which also works on the high seas.
  • The restricted radio operating certificate, also known as the Short Range Certificate (SRC), only entitles you to participate in VHF radio, which is only sufficient near the coast.

If you have lost your restricted radio certificate (SRC) or it has been stolen or damaged, you must apply for a replacement. This also applies if you have changed your name.

You will receive a replacement copy of your restricted radio operator's certificate (SRC) from the German Motor Yacht Association or the German Sailing Association and it will be valid as a national certificate of the Federal Republic of Germany.

  • You must be at least 18 years old to submit the application.
