Abstract: We present the recent results of phase-referencing observations with VERA's dual-beam system. Since the first fringe detection with the dual-beam system in May 2002, several observations have been made to check the system performance and in particular to test how the VERA's dual-beam system works in phase-referencing observation. Among these observations, we mainly focus on the observations of a pair of strong maser sources W49N and OH43.8-0.1, and discuss the phase-referencing capability as well as potential astrometric accuracy of VERA.
