What is a MARA-registered migration agent?
In Australia, only a registered migration agent or a practising lawyer may charge a fee for immigration assistance. The Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA), now administered by the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA), maintains a public register of all legally authorised migration agents. Every registered agent holds a unique Migration Agent Registration Number (MARN).
Using an unregistered person for visa advice is not just risky; it is a red flag. Unregistered agents cannot be held accountable through OMARA's professional conduct framework, and their errors can result in visa refusals, character findings, or departmental bans that are very difficult to reverse.
