Visit verityintel.com/singapore-work-pass/ to place your order. Select the country where your education certificate was issued, complete payment, and you will receive an invoice immediately. We cover education checks for Malaysia, Australia, USA, UK, and India — the five countries approved by Singapore MOM.

Each order covers one education certificate (plus accreditation check, if required). Please make a separate purchase for each certificate you wish to verify.

This depends on your institution. Visit the MOM Employment S Pass Self-Assessment Tool at mom.gov.sg and log in with SingPass. If your institution appears on the list, the Accreditation Check is not required — Authenticity only will suffice. If it does not appear, both checks are needed.

An Accreditation Check verifies whether your education institution holds recognised accreditation status. To determine if yours is required, visit the MOM Employment S Pass Self-Assessment Tool at mom.gov.sg and log in with SingPass. If your institution is already on the MOM list, the Accreditation Check can be omitted.

The Local National ID refers to your National Registration Identity Card (NRIC). It is not mandatory — if you do not have one, a copy of your passport is sufficient.

A passport copy is the recommended alternative. You may provide either two supporting identity documents or a passport copy alone — whichever is available to you.

Select the package that matches the country where your educational certificate was issued (not where you physically studied or lived).

To determine if your package requires an extra Accreditation Check, follow these steps:

• Log into the MOM Employment/S Pass Self-Assessment Tool at mom.gov.sg using your SingPass.
• Search for your educational institution.
• If your institution appears on the MOM list: An Accreditation Check is not required.
• If your institution is NOT on the list: You must select a package that includes the Accreditation Check.

Note for Malaysia Certificates: If your institution is anything other than the University of Malaya or Stamford College, please run the MOM check above to determine if the Accreditation Check package is required.

Select the country where your education certificate was issued, not where you physically studied. In this example, please select Australia.

It is generally recommended to verify your highest level of education. For specific requirements applicable to your situation, we advise seeking clarification directly from MOM.

Simply replace the company fields with your personal details. For example: Company Name = Your Full Name; Company Address = Your Current Residential Address.

Each order is for one education certificate only. Please make a separate purchase for each qualification you wish to verify. 1 purchase = 1 education certificate (+ accreditation, if required).

It is generally recommended to verify your highest level of education. For specific guidance, we advise seeking clarification directly from MOM.

All verifications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Turnaround times are determined by each institution's internal policies and processes, and we are unable to expedite beyond those timelines.

The additional cost is a fee charged by the education institution to process the verification request. This may also include relevant service charges such as courier or bank transfer fees, where applicable. We will always seek your approval before proceeding with any additional costs.

Reports are issued with password protection in accordance with our company policy. We are unable to provide completed reports without this security measure.
