What Certificate of Registration means to ag employers

A Certificate of Registration for a farm labor contractor is a mandatory document issued by the U.S. Department of Labor that authorizes an individual or entity to engage in farm labor contracting activities. This certificate ensures compliance with the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA) and includes specific authorizations for activities such as recruiting, soliciting, hiring, employing, furnishing, or transporting migrant or seasonal agricultural workers. The certificate must be carried at all times during contracting activities and shown upon request to relevant authorities and parties. It is non-transferable and must be renewed annually or as specified by the issuing authority.
