Application to become an authorised examining doctor for seafarers

If you want to conduct medical examinations in the Netherlands for seafarers as an authorised examining doctor – also known internationally as an approved doctor (AD) – you need a permit from the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate (ILT). Your application will be assessed by an ILT maritime medical adviser.

The ILT is temporarily not accepting new applications to become an authorised examining doctor for seafarers. This page will display further information as soon as applications open again.

The regulations for authorised seafaring examining doctors are laid out in the Besluit zeevarenden (Seafarers Decree Articles 110 and 111, in Dutch).
