Procedure details
Description
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 operating certificate, also known as the Long Range Certificate (LRC), entitles you to participate in VHF, border and shortwave radio as well as the mobile maritime radio service via satellite, which also works on the high seas.
- The limited 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 LRC or it has been stolen or damaged, you must apply for a replacement document. This also applies if you have changed your name.
You will receive a replacement copy of your LRC from the Deutscher Motoryachtverband e.V. or the Deutscher Segler-Verband e.V. and it is valid as a national certificate of the Federal Republic of Germany.
You can obtain information about the issue directly from the respective association.
Requirements
- To apply, you must be at least 18 years old.
