For details on whether you'll receive a plastic card or just a certificate for your boater's license, please refer to the FAQ page for your state's course. The availability of plastic cards varies by state.
If your state does provide plastic cards, expect your permanent card(s) to arrive within 3-5 weeks after successfully completing and passing your course.
It's important to note that the method of mailing can differ; some states dispatch the cards directly, whereas others are sent out by our facility. Your card will be delivered through USPS in a plain white envelope, ensuring no visible markings that disclose its contents as your certification/card.
