Qualification Verification for E-Pass, S-Pass and TEP
eeCheck is one of the selected background screening companies by the Ministry of Manpower, Government of Singapore (MOM) to conduct education verification, qualification verification and institution accreditation check and provide candidates of work pass application with a verification proof.
Based on whether the awarding institutions you are declaring on your application are on the Application Drop Down List in the MOM website, you may be required to submit the verification proof for the authenticity of the qualification and accreditation status of the institution. Read the corresponding verification proof requirements below and if needed, connect with eeCheck and speak with one of our professional consultants to see if qualification verification or institution accreditation check would be required for your work permit application.
As per the guidelines specified on the official Ministry of Manpower (MOM) website (https://www.mom.gov.sg/passes-and-permits/employment-pass/documents-required), as part of the COMPASS system rollout, it is required that any post-secondary diploma or higher qualifications declared to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) must be substantiated with a corresponding verification proof. This mandate applies to all new Employment Pass (EP) applications beginning 1st September 2023, and to renewals commencing 1st September 2024.
For employers seeking to accrue points through these qualifications in the COMPASS system, it is crucial to include them in the EP application. Otherwise, the declaration of qualifications and the corresponding verification proofs are not necessary.
Concerning the requirements for verification proof, it is incumbent on employers to ascertain that their candidates’ qualifications are both genuine and issued by authorized institutions.
If the awarding institution of a qualification is not listed in the MOM application form’s dropdown menu, verification proof should be provided for the following two aspects:
- The authenticity of the qualification
- The accreditation status of the awarding institution
In cases where the awarding institution is listed in the dropdown menu, the verification proof required would pertain to the authenticity of the qualification alone.
*Note that checks for authenticity affirm that the qualification was indeed conferred upon the candidate, while accreditation checks validate the qualification’s recognition by the local governing authority.
As per the guidelines specified on the official Ministry of Manpower (MOM) website (https://www.mom.gov.sg/passes-and-permits/s-pass/documents-required), if the education qualification you declared in your application is from an institution that does not appear in the application form’s drop-down list, a verification proof would be required.
As per the guidelines specified on the official Ministry of Manpower (MOM) website (https://www.mom.gov.sg/passes-and-permits/training-employment-pass/documents-required), if the education qualification you declared in your application is from an institution that does not appear in the application form’s drop-down list, a verification proof would be required.

Ensuring Qualification and Employment Proof:
6 Best Practices for Effective MOM Verification for Qualification and Employment Proof
Integrate the MOM verification with the existing employment screening process by creating an integrated process for consent forms and data collection from candidates for both general employment background checks and MOM verification.
Establish an integrated reporting channel and access for both the background check and MOM reports for the employer and its HR, Compliance and other related departments.
Ensure your HR team is fully prepared to collect the necessary information and documents from the data subject (such as degree certificates and mark sheets from India) to avoid potential delays in the data gathering process and any back-and-forth communication with eeCheck. Do go ahead and request a list of potential documents needed for the verification service when working with us.
Develop internal protocols and policies for data privacy, release, and protection to maintain the confidentiality of the data subject’s personal information.
Take a transparent and hand-in-hand approach with the data subject by providing progress updates and requesting additional information from the institution when necessary.
Starting the verification process as soon as possible can help avoid potential delays (such as time for the data subject to gather the required information) even though eeCheck endeavors to ensure the fastest turnaround time.
