This guide explains how to complete your Application for Service (AFS) and how to upload and manage your insurance documents using the MBSC website.

Before You Start

You must be logged into the MBSC website to complete your AFS and upload insurance.

Go to Member Links → Forms & Applications

Step 1 – Log in to the MBSC Website

Step 2 – Open the AFS Form

⭐ Important: 7-Day Editing Window

After you click Submit, your AFS is saved and you have 7 days to make changes.

  • You may reopen the AFS during this time to adjust your selections.

  • After 7 days, your application becomes locked and will be processed by the club.

Step 4 – Choose the File to Upload

⭐ Insurance File Requirements (Important)

The system accepts images only such as JPG or PNG

PDFs are not accepted.
If your policy is a PDF, take a screenshot or clear photo and upload the image version.

Ensure the image clearly shows:

  • Your name

  • Boat details

  • Proof of liability coverage

Step 5 – Click Submit

Click Submit and wait for the confirmation message.
Your document will appear in your Insurance Dashboard (Review Insurance Slips).

3. Managing Your Insurance Documents

Please update your insurance documents as you renew the insurance, not necessarily at the time that you are completing your AFS.

Access the Insurance Dashboard via:
Member Links → Forms & Applications → Review Insurance Slips

Here you can:

  • View your current insurance documents

  • Check expiry dates

  • Remove outdated versions

To update an expired or renewed policy:

  1. Click Review Insurance Slips

  2. Delete the old insurance document

  3. Return to Forms & Applications, choose Upload Insurance Slip, and follow the upload steps in Section 2
