Schedule Your SRB/SID Appointment 2024

MARINA has a new online service. It’s for getting or renewing SID (Seafarer’s Identity Document) and/or SRB (Seafarer’s Record Book). It’s different from MISMO and doesn’t need registration or making a new account. You use it for one transaction only – once you set an appointment for SRB or SID Appointment, you’re done.

Other STCW functions, like COP, COP, Examinations, etc., are still in MISMO.

For cash payments, you can go to pawnshops (RD, LH Lhuillier, Tambunting, etc.), rural banks (Malayan Bank, GR Bank, etc.), malls or stores (7Eleven, LCC Malls, Gaisano Grand, etc.), and business centres (LBC, VIAExpress, etc.).

Once you pay, you’ll get an email and text confirming your schedule and payment.

Step 9: Day of Appointment

On the day of your appointment, bring all the documents they told you to bring online. This includes the printout of your confirmed appointment and your payment proof.
When you get there, wait in line until they call your name for the Biographic and Biometric Details Enrolment. This is when they carefully check that your documents are real.
They will also take a picture of your face and a sample of your signature to add to their system.

Step 10. Releasing Your MARINA SID/ SRB Documents

This is the last and most exciting part.

You’ll get your SID or SRB, or both, within 3 working hours after you pay.
