Renew an MSIC

You will need to follow the same process as when you applied for your initial MSIC to renew your card.

The same level of identification is required. You will also need to show proof that you have a current operational need and the right to work in Australia.

We recommend you submit your renewal application six-eight weeks prior to your current MSIC expiring so that your new card is approved and printed in sufficient time.

If your MSIC has expired at the time of lodging your documents and was issued by Pilbara Ports, your MSIC will be retained by the MSIC Office staff and destroyed in accordance with regulations.

If your MSIC was obtained from another issuing body, it is your responsibility to return the initial MSIC to the relevant issuing body.

If your MSIC has not yet expired when your renewal application is lodged, you will be able to continue using it until your new card arrives. At this point, you must return your expired card to the issuing body.

RENEW AN MSIC

Remember it is a requirement that you return your MSIC to your MSIC issuing body under the Maritime Transport and Offshore Facilities Security Regulations (2003).

An MSIC holder must return the expired MSIC to an issuing body 30 days or less after:

The MSIC expires
The holder is notified that it has been cancelled
The MSIC has been damaged, altered, defaced (permanently or temporarily).

Penalty: 10 penalty units. One penalty unit = A$330.

A contravention of subregulation (1) is an offence of strict liability.

Renewed MSIC's will not be issued, until the previous MSIC is returned.
