Safety check

Is the person asking you for money allowed to?

Fourteen questions about their conduct, not about your visa. Nothing you enter is saved, nothing is sent anywhere, and you do not need an account.

What this is, and what it is not

Every question here is about how somebody is behaving towards you, and every answer points at a section of the law you can read yourself. It says nothing about your visa, your eligibility or your chances, because only a registered migration agent or an Australian legal practitioner may tell you that.

Credentials

Have they given you a registration number you can look up yourself?
Not sure? Leave it blank — an unanswered question counts as unknown, not as a problem.
Did you search that number yourself on the public register?
Not sure? Leave it blank — an unanswered question counts as unknown, not as a problem.
Does the name on the register match the person you are actually dealing with?
Not sure? Leave it blank — an unanswered question counts as unknown, not as a problem.

Money

Have they asked for any money before you signed a written services agreement?
Not sure? Leave it blank — an unanswered question counts as unknown, not as a problem.
Do you have the fee in writing, as a fixed amount or an hourly rate with an estimate of hours?
Not sure? Leave it blank — an unanswered question counts as unknown, not as a problem.
Were you asked to pay cash, or to a personal account, or by crypto or a money transfer service?
Not sure? Leave it blank — an unanswered question counts as unknown, not as a problem.

What they promised

Did they guarantee the visa, promise a particular outcome, or offer "no visa no fee"?
Not sure? Leave it blank — an unanswered question counts as unknown, not as a problem.
Did they suggest any connection to the government, or "contacts" inside the Department?
Not sure? Leave it blank — an unanswered question counts as unknown, not as a problem.
Did they say they could speed up, expedite, or prioritise the Department's decision?
Not sure? Leave it blank — an unanswered question counts as unknown, not as a problem.
Did anyone offer to arrange, improve or create documents or evidence for you?
Not sure? Leave it blank — an unanswered question counts as unknown, not as a problem.

How they behave

Are you being pushed to decide or pay quickly?
Not sure? Leave it blank — an unanswered question counts as unknown, not as a problem.
Does everything happen on a messaging app, with no email, invoice or address?
Not sure? Leave it blank — an unanswered question counts as unknown, not as a problem.
Were you given the Authority's consumer guide before any advice?
Not sure? Leave it blank — an unanswered question counts as unknown, not as a problem.
Do you have access to your own ImmiAccount, or have you seen proof of what was lodged?
Not sure? Leave it blank — an unanswered question counts as unknown, not as a problem.

Check a number right now

A MARN is seven digits. Type it and this will tell you whether the format is even possible, then take you straight to the government register to read the entry.

Second check, and the one people skip: has this person already been disciplined? We report every decision the regulator has published, searchable by name or MARN — search the disciplinary decisions. An agent with no history will not appear there at all, which is the normal case.

A lawyer has no MARN — they came off the OMARA register on 22 March 2021 and are regulated by their state legal services commissioner instead. That is not a red flag; check their practising certificate on the relevant state register instead.
