This form may be used to apply for the initial certificate of survey and/or load line, to renew a certificate of survey or to change the details for an existing certificate of survey.
Some vessels may be exempt from the requirement to have a certificate of survey. Generally vessels which are <12m, operating in service categories 2C Restricted, 2D, 2E, 3C Restricted, 3D, 3E, 4D or 4E that are not high risk operations fall within the criteria of Marine Safety (Certificates of survey) Exemption (Exemption 02) or Marine Safety (Class C restricted operations) Exemption (Exemption 40).

Please review these exemptions to find out if your vessel is exempt from the requirement to have a certificate of survey before completing this form.

After your application has been submitted, AMSA will send you a letter outlining all the surveys that are required to support this application. Please provide that letter to your surveyor as it contains survey codes that will enable your surveyor to submit the initial or renewal survey reports to AMSA.

AMSA must receive the vessel survey report(s) before this application can be assessed. If the vessel has already been surveyed by an accredited marine surveyor or recognised organisation, please ensure that the survey report(s) are submitted to AMSA by your surveyor.

If your vessel is yet to be surveyed, your application will remain pending and will not be assessed until all of the required survey report/s are provided to AMSA.
