11. I am applying for a renewal EP. Do I need to conduct education checks?

Renewal EPs will be subject to the COMPASS framework from 1 September 2024.

If your EP application was approved after 1 September 2023 and your education qualification was previously screened by an MOM-approved partner such as Veremark, you potentially do not need to run the same checks again.

If your education qualification was previously screened by a vendor who is not on the MOM-approved list, then you will need to redo the check and obtain the 15-digit unique identifier code for submission to MOM on your EP renewal page.

Veremark is an approved partner by the Ministry of Manpower to do verified academic checks. You can purchase your check here.
