Taking back my helpers records from agent

I have an Indonesian helper.


Can I take her passport and personal documents back from our agent?


It's just that a lot of potential employers live quite far from us and may want to use an agent near them or process themselves.

You can certainly try. It is actually against the law for anyone (apart for the police or immigration officials) to hold anyone else's passport, but it's a common practice among FDH agencies. It's likely that your helper has an outstanding debt with the agency who are holding the passport to safeguard their asset. Still illegal, though.
