FAQ
Common questions
- Is Coastguard AI affiliated with the Coast Guard?
- No. We're an independent tool that helps mariners and schools prepare USCG paperwork. The forms we generate are the same official CG-719 series the Coast Guard requires.
- Do I have to pay to use it?
- Mariners use Coastguard AI free of charge when their school is on our school plan. Schools pay one flat monthly rate — no per-student fees.
- Which forms does it generate?
- The CG-719 series — B (application), K (medical), C and P (drug test), S (drug program). Pathfinder picks the ones your specific license requires.
- Can I sign electronically?
- Yes. Sign once on your phone or laptop and we apply your signature to every form that needs it.
- Where does my data go?
- Your information is encrypted at rest, only visible to you and your reviewing school, and never shared. We follow data-minimization practices and archive personal data after approval.
