Guided wizard

Answer once, in plain English. We figure out which CG-719 forms you actually need.

E-signature ready

Sign with your finger or trackpad. Every required form is generated, signed, and packaged.

Built-in review

Your school reviews the packet before submission, so the Coast Guard sees it right the first time.

How it works

From blank screen to signed packet in three steps.

No printing, no scanning, no guessing which form you need. Just answer questions about yourself and your sea time.

  1. 01

    Tell us about you

    Pathfinder asks about your license type, citizenship, and experience to build your packet.

  2. 02

    Answer & sign

    Plain-English chapters autosave as you go. Sign once on screen — we apply it everywhere.

  3. 03

    Download & submit

    Your school reviews the packet, then you download ready-to-submit PDFs for the USCG.

Forms we generate

The whole CG-719 stack, auto-filled.

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.
