The BoatU.S. MMSI Program has been certified by both the Federal Communications Commission and the 
U.S. Coast Guard to assign MMSI numbers to vessels with DSC capable radios that are not required 
by law to carry a radio, and do not make international voyages or communications.  

Following is a printer friendly MMSI# Assignment Form. 
You may download this form and return it to BoatU.S. via mail or fax.

IMPORTANT NOTE 

Depending on the manufacturer of your DSC radio, your MMSI# may only be able to be entered twice during 
the initial set up process. If you try to program your radio more than twice with the assigned MMSI#, the radio 
may have to be sent back to the manufacturer. Please be careful when initially entering your newly assigned 
MMSI number.
