Brief update on RECs, MMDs (2/5)

The U.S. Coast Guard regional exam centers (RECs) reportedly have resumed renewing merchant mariner documents – including adding endorsements – but currently are not issuing original documents.

An announcement concerning the issuance of original MMDs is expected to be published in the Federal Register, possibly as soon as Feb. 6.
