Use the MOM self-assessment tool and click “Educational Qualifications”. If the awarding institution on your certificate is not in the drop-down list, you need to apply the accreditation status of educational institutional services.

The standard timeframe is 15 business days from receipt of payment and all required documentation.  India and China based education checks are not included within the 15-day turnaround time.  Please note that in some instances, it will not be possible to complete the verification within the stipulated timeframe due to government closures of educational institutions as a result of Covid 19 restrictions, public holidays, or staff absences at educational institutions.

Our Letter of Authorisation is electronically signed but there are still a number of educational institutions that will require a wet signature.  If this is the case for your educational institution, our MOM Screening Manager will email you our Letter of Authorisation which you will be required to print, sign and return via email.

Important Notice: Effective 1 September 2023,  Ministry of Manpower Singapore (MOM) requires verification reports with MOM Verification Reference Numbers. If you have an old RMI report without one and require an update, kindly submit your request via our contact page.
