In accordance with the guidelines of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the global trend towards electronicization, JG has established an environment for the electronic issuance of maritime-related certificate etc.
　As of 13th February, 2023, the electronic issuance of these documents has commenced.
　Please note that electronic certificate etc. and paper certificate etc. cannot be used concurrently; you must choose one or the other. For details on electronic certificate etc. and a list of certificate etc. currently available for electronic issuance, please refer to JG’s administrative communication dated 10th February, 2023. While it is still possible to receive paper certificate etc., please be aware that you cannot receive both electronic and paper versions of the same certificate etc.
　At Kurosawa Maritime Consulting Office supports certificate etc. electronicization procedures, which reduce the amount of work involved in issuing and rewriting certificate etc., reducing costs such as postage costs, and reducing the time it takes to receive documents on the same day.
　We have compiled an example of the electronization procedure for certificate etc. whose steps have been confirmed below. *Please note that the procedure may vary by the regional JG. If you have any questions or concerns about individual procedures, please do not hesitate to contact us.
