Candidate registration

Register

Your details and one photo of an ID. It is how we know a Shorepass passer is a real seafarer, and how we reach you if you lose your licence.

What we need, and why

Your details. So we can find your licence again if your phone is lost or replaced, and so we know which certificate you are studying for.

One photo of an ID. SIRB, passport, PRC licence, driver's licence, any government ID. A person looks at it, not a machine.

Flat, in daylight, all four corners in frame. You may cover anything that is not your name, photograph or the ID number.

May we congratulate you publicly?

When a Shorepass user passes, we like to post it. Tick this and we may publish your name and rank on the Shorepass website and social pages as a congratulatory or testimonial post.

Entirely optional. Leave it unticked and register anyway — nothing about the app or your licence changes either way.

Never published: your ID photograph, your ID number, your email, your phone, your device code, or anything about how you scored. Change your mind and email us; we take it down and delete the photograph, no reason needed.

Sent over an encrypted connection. Not shared with anyone else, ever.
