Dear Ms. Abel,
Thank you for your request dated Mar 20, 2023 02:43:12 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
The Provisional Certificate of Registration (PCOR) with the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) is required because jewelry dealers, dealers in precious metals, and dealers in precious stones are covered persons under Republic Act No. 9160, otherwise known as the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001, as amended (AMLA).
The PCOR may be obtained by registering at the AMLC Portal at https://portal.amlc.gov.ph/amlc/ and uploading the following documents pursuant to Part 2 (Online Registration) of the 2021 AMLC Registration and Reporting Guidelines (ARRG) and Section 49 of the 2021 Anti-Money Laundering/Counter-Terrorism Financing Guidelines for Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBP Guidelines):
(a) Most recent Articles of Incorporation and General Information Sheet from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Certificate of Registration from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI); or proof of registration with the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA); Real Estate Brokers’ Certificate of Registration or License from the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC);
(b) Notarized Deeds of Undertaking of the entity, signed by the proprietor/partners/president/directors; and
(c) Notarized Certificate of Designation as Compliance Officer.
After registration, you will be provided a PCOR, which you can use or present to government agencies or other covered persons, when required, relative to your business.
However, it should be noted that the PCOR shall only be valid for a period of six (6) months, and a Certificate of Registration will be issued only upon the submission of the following requirements under Section 50 of the DNFBP Guidelines:
(a) Copy of business registration or permit from the city or municipality currently having jurisdiction over the place of establishment and operation of the office;
(b) List of operating office locations;
(c) Proof of attendance of the proprietor/partners/president/ directors in an AML seminar; and
(d) Most recent clearance from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), or its equivalent in a foreign jurisdiction, of all directors and principal officers.
The step-by-step registration procedure is laid down under Part 2 (Online Registration) of the 2021 AMLC Registration and Reporting Guidelines (ARRG).
Should you require assistance at any stage of the registration process, or for any registration-related inquiry, you may contact the Registration Staff, Data Collection and Management Unit, Compliance and Supervision Group of the AMLC, through Telephone Nos. (632)87087067 and (632)53103244, or Cellphone Nos.(63)9157780720 and (63)9687727045.
We hope we have been of assistance.
