Verify a recruitment agency – your next steps

PRACTICAL PREPARATION

Your next steps

An agency name alone is insufficient; check the official licensed-agency record.

Get the exact registered agency name and licence number.
Look up the agency using the official DOFE search service.
Compare agency, employer, vacancy and written contract details.
Do not pay on the basis of a screenshot or unverified claim.

BEFORE YOU OPEN THE OFFICIAL PORTAL

Catch common preparation mistakes

Review the three points that matter for your case. This is a self-check, not document validation or an eligibility decision.

I will check the agency's registered licence record, not only its name or logo.
I will compare agency and job details against official records and the contract.
I will not rely on screenshots or unverified payment requests.

Privacy: Ticks stay on this page until you leave or refresh it. Your checkbox selections are not submitted or saved. The website may still log ordinary page visits.

Important: Even with all boxes checked, only the official authority can confirm eligibility, requirements and application status.

Office and programme variations

Labour approval and verification route depend on the application type. FEIMS/DOFE is authoritative.

BEFORE YOU ENTER DETAILS

Field-by-field comparison help

Educational comparison examples, not official field validation. Do not enter names, identity numbers, dates of birth or passwords here.

Agency licence

Compare against: The latest licence status shown by the Department of Foreign Employment.

Avoid: Paying money based solely on an agent’s photo of a licence.

Recruitment agency

Compare against: Registered agency details and the current official DOFE record.

Avoid: Trusting a recruiter name, social media message or logo without official corroboration.

Employment offer

Compare against: Employer, destination, position and terms in the offer/contract against official records.

Avoid: Assuming a historical database match proves a current offer is genuine.
