How do I look up my MMSI number?
To check if your MMSI was assigned through BoatUS, email [email protected].
How do I change my MMSI information?
Can I change the MMSI number entered into a VHF radio or AIS unit? Once entered and confirmed, the MMSI number can only be changed by a certified technical dealer. If you need your number reset or changed, it is recommended that you contact the organization or agency which originally registered your MMSI.
Do MMSI numbers expire?
In order to be accepted into the ITU database, any FCC assigned MMSI must end in zero. This is why the BoatUS MMSI number cannot be re-used when later applying for an FCC MMSI number for international cruising.
Does the MMSI number stay with the boat?
Unlike a phone number that stays with you when you move across town, a boat's MMSI always stays with the boat, so any subsequent owner must update the MMSI number with his or her new contact information.
