Your MMSI number is international. it will contain a few digits that
identify the country of registration so should more details be required,
enquiries can be made of the appropriate national registry/authority
If that wasn't the case, no DSC ship or boat could ever make an
international journey!
You can get the MMSI of your radio re-programmed but you will usually need
to return it to a dealer to have it done.
It should be tied in with the registration of the vessel. So if you buy a
boat in USA but live in Canada and re-register it in Canada you would need
to have a Canadian MMSI number
Hope this helps

instructions say that you should have received an email with instructions on
how to claim/transfer the number (should involve changing to your name and
boat info).
