Dear Ms. Alban,
Greetings!
Thank you for your request dated Jul 20, 2022 11:44:15 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
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). As such, they are required to register with the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) through the Online Registration System. A Provisional Certificate of Registration (PCOR) shall then be issued upon the successful registration and submission of the requirements.
The AMLC PCOR may be obtained by registering at the AMLC Portal at https://portal.amlc.gov.ph/amlc/ and uploading scanned copies of 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) Certificate of Registration from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI);
(b) Notarized Deed of Undertaking of the entity, signed by the proprietor; and
(c) Notarized Certificate of Designation as Compliance Officer.
After registration, you will be provided a PCOR, which may be presented to covered persons such as banks (i.e. BDO), in compliance with the latter’s customer due diligence measures prescribed under the 2018 IRR of the AMLA.
However, it should be noted that the PCOR shall be valid only for a period of six (6) months, and the DNFBP shall be issued a Certificate of Registration (COR) only upon 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 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 ARRG. Should you require assistance at any stage of the process, or for any registration-related query, you may contact the Data Collection and Management Unit of the AMLC at Telephone Nos. (632) 87087067, (632) 53020- 3948, or (632) 5310-3244, or Mobile Phone Nos. 09687727045 and 09157780720. You may, likewise, visit our website at http://www.amlc.gov.ph/ for updates regarding the matter.
We hope we have been of assistance.
Respectfully,
FOI Decision Maker
