Merchant Mariners' Evidence of Service

Mariners

Mariners should be able to provide some documentation to support their claim including:

  • discharge certificates
  • certificate of qualifications
  • accounts of wages
  • certificate of service

Allied mariners should be able to provide similar documentation to Australian Mariners however if this is unavailable they need to make a statutory declaration.
