Do old IYT paper certificates expire even if no
expiration date is printed on them?
Yes. Older IYT certificates, including paper certificates
and legacy certificates issued without a printed expiration date, may still be
subject to IYT's current revalidation requirements. The absence of a printed
expiration date does not automatically mean that a certificate is valid
indefinitely.
IYT certificates are typically valid for five years. If you
hold an older paper certificate without an expiration date, please contact IYT
Support to confirm its validity and whether revalidation is required.
How do I revalidate an old paper certificate or obtain a
current plastic card?
If you have an old IYT certificate, legacy certificate or
paper certificate issued many years ago and would like to revalidate it,
replace it or obtain the current plastic card version, the certificate must
first be located in IYT's historical records and added to your current IYT
account.
To have a legacy certificate added to your account, please
email support@iytworld.com with:
- A copy
of your existing IYT certificate.
- A copy
of your government-issued photo identification.
Our team will review your documentation and add the legacy
certificate to your IYT account, even if it has expired, so that you can
proceed with the applicable online revalidation process.
Please note that revalidation and payment of the applicable
fees may be required before a current plastic card certificate can be issued.
Important: Master of Yachts certificates may require
additional training, examination resits, interviews or further assessments for
revalidation, depending on how long the certificate has been expired.
