Getting your USCG medical certificate is easy.
Print off a CG-719K form from the USCG NMC Medical website.
Schedule your medical exam with a physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner who is licensed in the US or US Territory.
Bring the printed form CG-719K with you to your medical exam appointment.
Have your medical provider complete all 10 pages and sign the form.
After your exam, email the completed CG-719K form directly to MEDAIP@uscg.mil as a pdf file.
Make sure to include your full name in the subject line or your email to medical. I usually use this format: Last, First, MMC Reference Number. Mine would be: Gilman, Nate, 347478
