Per the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is the sole federal agency authorized to certify foreign adult victims of human trafficking. Victims of trafficking will be issued a certification letter from the Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP). If you have questions about the validity of an OTIP certification letter, call 1-866-401-5510. Derivative T-statuses (family members of the primary victim) do not receive a certification letter.
