Starting 01 September 2026, seafarers with immediate deployment needs may avail of EXPEDITE PROCESSING for their Seafarerβs Record Book (SRB) and Seafarerβs Identity Document (SID) at the MARINA Central Office only, until further notice.
Certifications will no longer be issued for expedited applications.
Regular applications, meanwhile, are being processed through batch printing, with releases expected approximately one week after processing. A separate Advisory will be issued within the week for those applications affected during systems downtime.

- Request Letter from the employing company
- Confirmed airline e-ticket
- Approved DMW Contract, notarized company contract, or Certificate of Employment
- Confirmed SID/SRB appointment
Applicants must also submit the applicable documentary requirements for SID and/or SRB issuance.
Please note: Expedite Processing is currently available at the MARINA Central Office only while services in MARINA Regional Offices are being restored.
For the information and guidance of all concerned.
