MARN lookup: check a migration agent's registration
Search the public MARA register by an agent's MARN number or name to confirm they're a registered Australian migration agent. Only people on this register, kept by the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA), may lawfully give immigration assistance for a fee. Every result links to the official OMARA register so you can verify it directly. General information only, not migration advice — the official register is always the live source of truth.

Common questions
What is a MARN?
A MARN is a Migration Agents Registration Number — a unique number every registered Australian migration agent is given when they're entered on the public register kept by the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA). Only people on this register may legally give immigration assistance for a fee in Australia, so the number lets you confirm an agent is genuinely registered.
How do I check if a migration agent is registered?
Enter the agent's MARN (a 6 or 7-digit number) or their name into the lookup. If they appear, they were on the public MARA register when it was last refreshed. For the definitive, live answer, use the link to the official OMARA register on their result — the government register is always the source of truth.
Why does it matter that my agent is MARA-registered?
Registered agents are bound by the Code of Conduct, carry professional indemnity insurance and can be held to account by OMARA. Using an unregistered person for paid immigration advice is risky and, for the person giving it, unlawful. Checking the MARN is the simplest way to protect yourself before you pay anyone.
Is this an official government tool?
No. Migratio is an independent marketplace that helps people compare and book MARA-registered migration agents. This lookup is a convenience built from the public register; OMARA holds the official, live register, which we link to on every result.
