Request a Replacement Short-Range Certificate (SRC)

To participate in the maritime mobile radio service or the inland waterway radio service, you need a valid radio operator’s certificate.

There are two types of radio operator certificates for the maritime radio service:

  • The general radio operator’s certificate, also known as the Long Range Certificate (LRC), authorizes you to operate on VHF, medium wave, and shortwave, as well as the mobile maritime radio service via satellite, which also functions on the high seas.
  • The Limited Radio Operator’s Certificate, also known as the Short Range Certificate (SRC), authorizes you exclusively to operate on VHF, which is sufficient only near the coast.

If you have lost your limited-validity radio operator’s certificate (SRC), or if it has been stolen or damaged, you must apply for a replacement. This also applies if you have changed your name.

You can obtain a replacement copy of your limited-validity radio operator’s certificate (SRC) from the German Motor Yacht Association (Deutscher Motoryachtverband e. V.) or the German Sailing Association (Deutscher Segler-Verband e. V.), and it is recognized as a national certificate of the Federal Republic of Germany.
