# What is the difference between a normal education check vs. an MOM education check?

The Singapore government has specific requirements on background check reports that are to be submitted to MOM. This includes issuing a unique 15-digit identifier code for each MOM case and clearing each check in accordance to MOM’s discrepancy matrix, which may differ from another country’s requirements or even your own organization’s standards.

As a client, we need you to inform us whether you are ordering a background check report for your own organization clearance. Please refer to[this page](https://help.veremark.com/guide-to-order-mom-ep?hsLang=en) for instructions on how to order the correct background check if you are using it to submit to MOM.

Veremark is an approved partner by the Ministry of Manpower to do verified academic checks. You can purchase your check [here](https://www.veremark.com/packages/mom-singapore-education-verification-package).
