DANGEROUS CARGO ENDORSEMENT CERTIFICATE, IMEI MUMBAI(LEVEL 1 BASIC)

Once again in this post of mine I will share with you the procedure to get a DCE certificate from MMD, the difference being in the location which is this time Mumbai. In fact most of the process is similar at all places ie you have to fill the form, complete the documents according to the checklist and submit the demand draft. Only the cost will be on a bit higher side if you get the certificate from Mumbai.

1. The first step is to make 2 demand drafts: one in favour of “ PRINCIPAL OFFICER MMD MUMBAI” payable at MUMBAI for an amount of INR 3000/-, the other draft to be made in favour of “ THE INSTITUTE OF MARINE ENGINEERS(INDIA)” for an amount of 1546/- . Make sure that the demand draft is not older than a week from the day you are applying for DCE. While making the demand drafts please check the details (spelling) on the demand draft and amount , otherwise it will be rejected.

• Now you are ready with the 2 drafts, just arrange the documents as per the checklist which I will put on my blog. The next thing is get the printout of CDC checker, just log in to CDC checker with CDC NO and D.O.B and get the printout of the page showing the details of your CDC.

• Arrange the xerox of the following documents as listed below: (for 3 DCE)

CDC Xerox (All stamp pages & printed pages) ( Self attested, name & signature on it) (03 sets)

INDOS NO. Print Out copy xerox(03 Sets)

CDC Checker Printout copy (03 sets)

Copy of Passport ( 1^st & last page) (Self attested, name & signature on it) (03 sets)

P.S.T Certificate xerox (03 sets)

F.P.F.F Certificate xerox (03 sets)

E.F.A Certificate xerox (03 sets)

P.S.S.R Certificate (03 sets)

Augmentation in fire fighting certificate (03 sets)

OTFC/GTFC/CTFC Certificate (01 set each)

3 passport size colour photographs (40*30 cms) always carry extra photographs with you

• Go to the IMEI centre in Nerul, Mumbai sharp at 10 o clock as they take the application only from 10-12 am in the morning. Get the application form from there itself, only 1 form and checklist is sufficient for 3 DCE . you can go to the centre on all working days (MON-FRI) between 10-12 am.

• Fill the application form , again it is very simple , but fill all the details as per your passport. Fill the checklist which will not take much time ,just write the DD no at right place for all the Dds which you have made , specifying for OIL- dd no, GAS- DD no, and so on.

Similarly fill the course completion separately for oil,gas,chemical in the same checklist. Fill your address correctly along with your contact number.

• In the application form also the certificate number of the course and name ,place of the institute need to be filled correctly.

Once you are done with all these things, there is an option of writing your name on a page there , so that according to that sequence they will call you inside for verification of documents. The very moment you reach there go and write your name on that page.

• Just wait for your turn to come, hand over all the arranged xerox copies to the lady sitting over there with the DD and photographs. She will check all the documents and cross verify all your originals from your folder. Within 10 min it will be done, and you will get a receipt from IMEI.

• Bring that receipt the next day around 3 pm in the afternoon. They will call each one inside and give you the certificates ,scan it and get your signature . Finally you are done with your DC work.

• Please write your name and contact no on the back side of the DD and also your name on the photographs.

• If you are new to Mumbai download the app for local train map , and catch a local for Sea woods dharavi station. Get down at the station and take an auto ,it will take 5 min to reach at the IMEI centre (20/-) .
