myAMSA

We’ve developed a secure online application portal so near coastal seafarers can apply for their certificates of competency online. It’s called myAMSA.

Gone are the days of printing your documents and travelling to a post office to submit your certificate of competency application. You can now apply online, anywhere, anytime using myAMSA.

You can also track the progress of an application you’ve already submitted, and view all of your current certificates of competency and endorsements in the one location at a time and place that suits you.

myAMSA uses the Australian Government’s ‘myID’ Digital ID app to securely verify your identity. Have your myID app on hand when you log into myAMSA today.

Are you ready to get started with myAMSA?
