2. Enter the TIN or name into the search bar on http://www.nbrb.by/engl/finsector/forex/register ;

3. If you can't find the broker's profile on NBRB wesbite, it's probably an unauthorised broker and please keep away of it. If yes, the broker can provide forex trading service;

4. If all the above steps have been done, don't forget to check the most important information: check if the broker details in the NBRB list matches the ones you'll go to trade with, especially the website and email etc.
If no, please keep away the broker because it's probably an unauthorized firm and your money will fall in danger.
