National seafarer's card



A national seafarer's card is a national identity card for seamen. A person may hold both a passport and a national seafarer's card at the same time. A national seafarer's card is only accepted as a travel document for travel associated with the holder's occupation as a seaman.

When applying for a national seafarer's card, certification of the applicant's occupation must be included, which may be a seaman's discharge book, or a certificate issued by an employer, an employment office or an institute of learning. One photograph must also be attached to an application for a national seafarer's card.

A national seafarer's card does not have a technical part (microchip).
