Any of you guys that have recently gotten their captains license could you please tell me about how long it took to receive you license after you submitted all your paper work. Thanks Kyle

Re: Captains License

Varies greatly by the type of license and your location. A 100 ton master in NY took about 4-6 weeks last fall. With all the changes surrounding MMD and TWIC, it may be a while.

Current cycle time averages around 3 weeks (actually around 18 days). That is only time accounted for by the Coast Guard. If you're missing information in your application, it will take longer.

That is for all types of credentials, no specific level or tonnage limit.

Get your TWIC first, otherwise it wont even make it in the system.
