Permit and insurance renewal tracker
Harbor permits, ID cards, insurance certificates and BMP training all expire on different cycles, and an expired one can keep you off the dock. List them here to see what's due, then add them to your calendar with reminders.

How this works
Days left = expiry date − today. Negative means expired; 0 to 30 days is "due soon". Dates are whole calendar days in your own time zone.
The known cycles compute the expiry from the date a card or course was issued:
- Marina del Rey: BMP certification valid 2 years from completion; Commercial Services ID renewed every 2 years.[1]
- Santa Barbara: the 2026 Business Activity Permit policy says the annual permit is due February 1, and hull cleaners need BMP training within the previous 5 years.[2] The City's rates page says August 1 instead[7]; the tracker uses the policy date, so confirm with the Waterfront office.
- Ventura Harbor: Commercial Identification cards expire June 30 each year.[3]
- NMEA Basic MEI certificates expire 3 years after issue[4]; ABYC certifications are active 5 years.[5]
Insurance certificates expire when the policy does; use the expiration date printed on the certificate. Some harbors deactivate gate keys when your documents lapse.[6]
The calendar file has one all-day event on each expiry date with a reminder 30 days before. It is generated in your browser; nothing is uploaded. See also the vendor packet checklist.
