New York City modeling/talent agencies must be a licensed employment agency by the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA), and must be bonded, as well. An agency should have its license posted in the reception area. Look for the DCA license number on receipts and ask about the license if you do not see it posted.
LAW SAYS:
"Any person who, for a fee, procures or attempts to procure employment or engagements for persons seeking employment or engagements, or employees for employers seeking the services of employees, requires an Employment Agency license. Employment agencies doing business in New York City may not be located in a residential building, and are governed by the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs. Employment agencies within the state but outside NYC limits are ruled by the New York State Department of Labor. Talent agencies in New York must post a bond with the licensing agency as part of the licensing requirement. Section 37.05 of the State of New York's Arts and Cultural Affairs Law calls for theatrical agents to investigate whether or not any employer offering employment has stranded or has defaulted in the payment of salaries, fees or other compensation to any performer or group of performers during the five years preceding the date of application (this clause does not apply to modeling engagements)"
Check whether an agency is licensed by calling Consumer Affairs at 212.487.4444, or contacting them.
