Seafarer Certificate Verification

Popular Services

For verification of any seafarer certification issued by the Cook Islands: Cook Islands Certificates of Endorsement, Cook Islands Certificates of Competency and Cook Islands Certificates of Proficiency , you may use any of the following three methods:

1. QR Code Verification

Each electronic certificate issued by Maritime Cook Islands includes a unique QR Code for instant verification.

How Our E-Certificates Work: QR Code Verification
Each electronic certificate issued by Maritime Cook Islands is equipped with a secure Quick Response (QR) Code. This QR code is the primary method for instant verification of the certificate’s authenticity.

When verifying certificates, always confirm the URL in your browser’s address bar. Our official verification portal is located at s2.upvise.com. Please be advised that any deviation, no matter how slight, indicates an unofficial site.

Examples of Unofficial URLs:
s2upvise.com
s2-upvise.com
s2.upvise.net
s2.upvis.com

The QR Code Verification Process:

  1. Locate the QR Code: You will find a unique QR code printed directly on your electronic certificate.
  2. Scan the QR Code: Use a smartphone or tablet with a QR code scanning application. Most modern mobile devices have this capability built into their camera apps.
  3. Access Certificate Information: Upon scanning, the QR code will typically link you directly to a secure digital copy (PDF) of your certificate. This allows for immediate visual confirmation of the certificate’s details.

 

What to Expect When You Scan:
Currently, the QR code embedded in our certificates links directly to a PDF copy of the certificate itself. This provides an immediate way for Port State Control, employers, and other relevant authorities to view the certificate’s content and verify its appearance against officially issued Maritime Cook Islands documents.

2. Online Verification Form
You can also verify a certificate using our online verification form. Simply enter the relevant certificate number and seafarer details to confirm authenticity.

3. Email Verification
If needed, verification can be requested directly by emailing the Seafarer Training & Certification Department: seafarers@maritimecookislands.com
