The National Maritime Center said the certificate PDF requires a password; what can I do? 

While our certificates are protected with a password to prevent editing, they can still be easily viewed. Occasionally, the National Maritime Center may encounter issues when trying to open the secured PDF in an editing program, prompting a password request. If this happens, you have the option to resend the PDF or simply take a photo or screenshot of the certificate and send them the image in a new PDF file. This workaround ensures that the certificate can be easily accessed and shared without any hassle.
