Be forewarned if you need one, or especially if you need one to submit with a license renewal application:
Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC®) | Transportation Security Administration
I personally have not had any real trouble applying, replacing, or renewing mine, but I'm lucky enough to live in a town where there is an issuing office right nearby, and my firm has footed the costs since I need it both for work and the occasional captain/instructor gig.
I really do hope this program has helped prevent whatever it is they are supposed to have prevented (maybe they have, but it's hard to prove a negative), because they have been a real pain for lots of mariners and license holders.
