Registration in context

Registration year is derived from the MARN prefix, which encodes the year an agent first registered with OMARA. Counts are drawn from the public register as at our latest refresh and describe the register only — they are not a rating, a ranking, or a measure of how well any agent handles a particular case. Longer registration is not the same as the right specialisation for your visa.
