MMSI Number

[Monique]

Applied a month ago to register my boat electronics.

Sorted all through Ofcom but I've not received my mmsi yet. How long does it take?

Should be on your radio registration details. Logon to the Ofcom website and look at your radio licence. You did request an MMSI number ?

Instant when you do online. Same when updating licence without MMSI.

Provided you registered for online,You have to print off the License (all 12? pages). First page is the important bit and will have MMSI on it if you requested one.

I had the same query as the OP as I am sure Ofcom said that the licence would be posted. On logging in this morning I found the licence has been there since the day after I applied. I could only print off the first 2 pages though.

I just registered my radio, the last page gave call sign, MMSI No and license No.

You have to register a radio?

No, but you need a station license, which comes to much the same thing.

That's OK then, I've just replaced my radio.

The MMSI number is automatically issued if you included, or subsequently add, a DSC radio .

It appears on the licence, or amended licence, which you can then print.

Thank you all.

Only the first two pages are personalised to you or your boat - there is a generic multipage document somewhere on the web site that forms the bulk of the licence terms and conditions - you are supposed to read a copy of that sometime!

Registered my new vhf/dsc radio last week online late one evening, my boat had not had a dsc previously - had an mmsi No. next day by e-mail
I didn't find the website the most straightforward to use.

My understanding is that those other pages form part of the licence and should be also printed and kept with the front two pages on the vessel .

Originally when you viewed and printed the licence you got all 12 pages without further ado

I'm dont know if the reduction to just the two pages is deliberate or due to a Gremlin but if I view my "T" number licence I still get all the pages so probably a gremlin.

Whichever the terms and conditions that form the other pages can be viewed and printed using the the menu on the LHS of the screen.

I found it useful to print doubled sided and A5 to reduce the quantity of paper. The A5 pages can be kept in a resealable plastic bag.

Ditto Thats why I use Apple confusers... they confuse less!

Good thought about the plastic bag.
