Dear Mr. Librero,
Greetings!
Thank you for your request dated Feb 01, 2023 11:24:33 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
Real estate brokers are covered persons under Republic Act No. 9160, otherwise known as the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001, as amended (AMLA). They are required to register with the AntiMoney 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 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. Real Estate Brokers’ Certificate of Registration or License from the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC);
b. Notarized Deeds of Undertaking; and
c. Notarized Certificate of Designation as Compliance Officer.
After registration, you will be provided a PCOR, which you can use to present to the bank for the opening of an account, in compliance with the latter’s customer due diligence measures prescribed under the 2018 Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the AMLA.
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 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 in an AML seminar; and
d. Most recent clearance from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), or its equivalent in a foreign jurisdiction.
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)9157780720and (63)9687727045. You may, likewise, visit our website at http://www.amlc.gov.ph/ for updates regarding the matter.
We hope we have been of assistance.
