On Tuesday, 30 September 2025, OMARA notified all registered migration agents of the upcoming implementation of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for the OMARA Portal, effective Monday, 20 October 2025.
The complete OMARA communication can be accessed below:
OMARA will be introducing the compulsory use of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all registered migration agents using the OMARA Portal from Monday, 20 October 2025.
MFA adds an extra layer of security, helping to protect personal and sensitive information from unauthorised access.
What do I need to do to enable MFA?
There will be two sign-in options, one for current users, another for new users.
- Current users
All current users of the OMARA Portal must sign in to their existing account to transfer to the new sign-in system and enable MFA on their existing account.
- You only need to do this once.
- Once you have registered with the new sign-in system that supports MFA using a unique email address, please use the sign-in option for existing users.
- You will have until 31 January 2026 to register with the new sign-in system and set up MFA. After that date you cannot access your account if you have not registered with the new sign-in system.
- New users
For any new users in your organisation, they will need to create an account with the new sign-in system to enable MFA.
- For all subsequent log ins, please use the option for existing users.
Is further help available?
Yes, OMARA is available to provide help and support during this MFA implementation process.
