• VISA Screening Agencies – CSMLS will send a letter, bearing the official CSMLS seal, directly to the agency of your choice,verifying your CSMLS Certification on your behalf.
  • If a complete or incomplete visa form was sent with your Verification application we will pass it along with the Verification of CSMLS Certification letter. We will NOT fill out any part of a Visa form on your behalf. ^*
  • Visa Screening Agencies who are contacting CSMLS on behalf of the individual MUST:
    • Have written and signed consent from the individual for release of information
    • Download and fill out our application form in its entirety including method of payment
• Regulatory Bodies – CSMLS will send a letter, bearing the official CSMLS seal, directly to the Regulatory Body of your choice,verifying your CSMLS Certification on your behalf.

The fee for this service is $100 for members and $150 for non-members and payment must be included with the application form. Please indicate where you would like your letter sent on the second page of the application.

A courier fee option for Verifications going to the United States is included on the application form. This is highly recommended for Verifications being sent to Visa Screening Agencies as a tracking number will be provided.
