Obtaining and MMSI No

[MM5AHO]

Is all thats required to fill out the form for amending a marine license? (Form Of347)
Have a call sign, license number, lifetime license etc, just no MMSI, and upgrade to a DSC VHF will be handy to have that MMSI.

apply online, or for stressfree satisfaction, pick up the phone and call them and speak to a friendly human being...and the new mmsi and upgraded licence should be with you within a couple of days...

The MMSI number used to be on the license any way, as I found out when I called to find out how to get one a couple of years ago.

If you have upgraded to a DSC radio you should amend your licence to record that. presumably the MMSI number will then be generated and automatically appear on the new licence.

It would be interesting to know if the new program that OFCOM have now installed is easier you use that the old one, but you will have to register first in order to use the online system. It will always be useful for making any future changes like adding other stuff that has to be licenced or recording changes of address. However as said it will probably be simpler to do it by phone

Just upgraded to dsc online. The website was a cinch to access and they instantly gave access to a new pdf licence to print out. Yes the new license does have an mmsi No. on it. All totally free. Quite gobsmacked really.
