I've been boarded in the US and Canada several times and once in the Netherlands. I've never been asked about the radio telephone license or the ship station license. I heard tales of it many decades ago but never witnessed it. For a US boat the USCG is more interested in your black water system than anything else. Foreign agencies in passports and ship's documentation.
