Application for admission to the examination for the VHF radiotelephone certificate for inland navigation (UBI)

If you would like to participate in inland navigation radio, you must have a valid radio certificate. The officially recognized VHF radiotelephone certificate (UBI) entitles you to participate in inland navigation radio.

To obtain the UBI, you must pass a theory and practical examination. You must apply in writing or online for admission to the examination and subsequent issue or initial issue of the UBI.

In the theoretical examination, you must demonstrate sufficient knowledge in the subject area of inland navigation radio. To do this, you must complete a questionnaire with several possible answers.

In the practical examination, you must solve tasks relating to the operation of inland waterway radio using the radiotelephone equipment of a ship's radio station.

If you have the general radio operator's certificate (LRC) or the restricted radio operator's certificate (SRC), the theoretical and practical examinations for the UBI are shortened.

The UBI is issued by examination boards of the Deutscher Motoryachtverband e.V. (DMYV) and the Deutscher Segler-Verband e.V. (DSV) and is issued as a national certificate of the Federal Republic of Germany.

The regional examination boards provide information about the examination and examination dates.
