What is seafarer registration certificate?

Answer 1

A Seafarer Registration Certificate (SRC) is issued to people who will be working on board a vessel on international waters. This is facilitated at POEA (Philippine Overseas Employment Administration). The purpose of SRC is to keep track of Filipino Seafarers working abroad.

An applicant may be given an SRC if he/she complied all the requirements set by the POEA. HE/she will be issued an SRC with one and only one registration number. It is non-transerable. The SRC can only be replaced/ reissued if it is lost or if changing ranks and if it is expired.
