Sending states’ migration bureaucracies intervene in the training process primarily through assessment, examination and certification. To produce “quality maids”, the Indonesian and Philippine migration bureaucracies have developed an accreditation system to training centres, trainers and assessors. In coordination with the industry, these government offices develop curricula standards and evaluation materials of student-trainees. Government officials also conduct their examination and issue certificates to out-going domestic workers. Sending countries’ “warranty” is a promise to deliver quality workers through concerted efforts to professionalise domestic work. Claims to citizenship include the right to redress and repatriation, subject to the limits of the host country’s jurisdiction. Workers who leave without documentation are as good as homo sacer (Lemke, 2005), a life with no sovereign guarantee. The disciplinary practices of standardised testing, combined with the sovereign’s power to create legal persons with limited entitlements produce “quality maids” for export.
