The quickest and easiest way to confirm your eligibility is adding and verifying your Coastguard work email address during the application. If this doesn't work, we'll need to see one of the below matching the name on your Blue Light Card account:
Work ID card showing:
- Name
- HM Coastguard OR National Coastwatch Institution affiliation
Payslip showing:
- Name
- HM Coastguard OR National Coastwatch Institution affiliation
- Dated within 3 months
Common reasons for ID decline under this category
- The name on your ID card/payslip doesn't match your account
- Your payslip did not show a date from within the last 3 months
- The team were unable to find affiliation to HM Coastguard from your ID card/payslip
