What is a Maritime Security Identification Card (MSIC)?
A Maritime Security Identification Card (MSIC) is a nationally recognised identification card which indicates that the holder has passed a background check and is authorised to work unescorted or without supervision in a maritime security zone.
MSICs have a validity of up to 4 years, although a background check is required every 2 years to maintain the card’s validity.
Who needs an MSIC?
You will need to apply for an MSIC if your occupation or business interests require, or will require you to:
- Access a maritime security zone unmonitored at least once each year or;
- Have a background check, but do not require you to access maritime security zones.
Core Security Training is not responsible for attaining or issuing the MSIC card
