Maritime Security Identification Card Application. ClientView is one of the largest Australian government certified MSIC issuers. A Maritime Security Identification Card (MSIC) is a nationally-recognised security identification card which is used in the maritime industry. An MSIC shows that you have been subjected to a background check and are, therefore, cleared to enter and work unescorted or unmonitored in maritime security zones of ports, ships, offshore oil and gas facilities, and similarly classified sites. MSICs have a validity of 2 to 4 years, depending on the type of card you apply for.
