What is a Registered Migration Agent?
A Registered Migration Agent (RMA) is an individual who is registered with the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA) in Australia. They are authorised to legally provide advice and assistance on Australian migration matters to individuals, families, and businesses.
MARN stands for Migration Agents Registration Number, which is a unique number given to each registered migration agent by the MARA. It is used to identify registered migration agents and to ensure that they meet the professional standards and ethical requirements set by the MARA. Clients can verify the registration of an RMA by checking their MARN on the MARA website.
Why Does it Matter That My Migration Agent is Registered?
It is important to work with a registered migration agent because they are authorised by the Australian government to provide immigration assistance and advice. This means they have undergone the necessary training in Australian immigration law and meet the professional standards required by the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA).
By working with an experienced and reputable registered migration agent, you can be assured that they have the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to help you navigate the complex Australian immigration system.
Furthermore, registered migration agents are bound by a Code of Conduct that requires them to act professionally, honestly, and in the best interests of their clients. This gives you an added layer of protection, as you can be confident that your agent will act ethically and with your best interests in mind.
Overall, working with a registered migration agent can help you achieve your migration goals and provide you with peace of mind during what can be a stressful and complex process.
