For Crew & Seafarers FAQ

Question 1

What is VerifiedCrew?

VerifiedCrew is a digital platform for maritime professionals to store, verify, and share their credentials. Your certificates, sea time records, and qualifications live in one secure wallet that you control.

Question 2

How do I create my credential wallet?

Accepted Answer

Sign up with your email, complete identity verification, and start uploading your certificates. The platform guides you through each step and validates document formats automatically.

Question 3

Is VerifiedCrew free for seafarers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The credential wallet is free for individual crew members. You can store, organize, and share your documents at no cost. Verification services are paid by the requesting party, typically your employer or agency.

Question 4

How do I share my credentials with an employer?

Accepted Answer

Generate a secure share link from your wallet. You control what documents are included, how long the link stays active, and you can revoke access at any time. Employers see verified status without needing your original documents.

Question 5

What documents can I store in my wallet?

Accepted Answer

Any maritime credential: STCW certificates, Certificates of Competency, medical fitness certificates, sea service records, flag state endorsements, safety training certificates, and more. The platform supports all standard document formats.

Question 6

What is a verified credential?

Accepted Answer

When you complete a verification — identity, background check, training certificate — VerifiedCrew creates a verified credential. Each one carries a tamper-proof seal that proves it is real without needing your original documents. Verifiers (employers, captains, port officials) can confirm the credential is genuine just by scanning a QR code or opening a share link. Each share expires after 15 minutes or one scan, whichever comes first. You can revoke any share at any time from your wallet.
