How long does MMC last?
5 years
An MMC is valid for a term of 5 years. Adding an endorsement during this period does not change the expiration date. The only time the expiration date will change is when a mariner applies for and meets all renewal requirements. Once an MMC has expired, a mariner may not serve under the authority of that credential.
What is my MMC number?
For recordkeeping purposes only, a mariner’s official MMC identification number is the individual’s social security number. However, a unique serial number, called the mariner reference number, and not the social security number, will appear on the credential.
Where do I find my Mariner reference number?
The mariner’s reference number and the MMC’s serial number are printed on the bottom of every page containing endorsement information and on all stickers issued to be added.
How long does it take to process USCG license?

Do the Merchant Marines still exist?
Yes, it still exists. No, they aren’t military. And, heck no, don’t ever call them “Merchant Marines”! Anyone working with veterans quickly learns two things: don’t forget to include the Coast Guard, and don’t forget to include the Merchant Marine, especially when talking about World War II.
