You must provide a copy of your license when applying for the permit, in addition there must always be a licensed captain on board, however it does not have to be the same captain that applied for the permit.

To be truthful about all this talk, if you ask the CG, EP or NOAA about the discussion on this board, they would be more confused than Gerry fighting a tuna...lol.

With that said, don't test the system.
