- What Is AML Registration in the UAE?
AML registration is one way qualified organizations may comply with their anti-money laundering duties. For firms that are obligated to report suspicious behavior, this might include registration with the UAE Financial Intelligence Unit’s goAML site.
Securing your login credentials requires the formal appointment of a qualified Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) to engage with the UAE authorities. Once your portal profile is approved, you are legally required to have your written corporate policy statements and client risk assessments fully finalized and ready for inspection.
- Who Needs AML Registration in the UAE?
All businesses classified as Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) must register on government systems. These regulations specify that the businesses must:
Real estate agents and brokers:
Businesses that are engaged in a covered property transaction.
Precious Metals & Stones Dealers:
Gold dealers, bullion dealers and jewelers who trade in cash or high-value merchandise.Â
Auditors and Corporate Accountants:
Independent experts who maintain the records and execute an external financial audit for clients.
Corporate Service Providers:
Specialists in business formation, registered offices, and acting as commissioned agents.
Legal professionals:
Lawyers and legal firms performing acts of activity falling under the relevant AML requirements.
Mainland and free zone companies have to verify that their activities are within a regulated sector. Being in possession of a trade license does not entail that every company has the same registration duties.

FAQ
It is a secure reporting software built by the UNODC and managed by the UAE Financial Intelligence Unit. DNFBPs must use this system to report suspicious transactions and file mandatory compliance records directly to state analysts.
We need a clear copy of your active Commercial Trade License, an official authorization letter on company letterhead appointing your MLRO, and clear copies of that officer’s passport, resident visa, and Emirates ID.
Yes. Your obligations depend entirely on your licensed business activities, not your office location. A real estate broker or corporate service firm in DMCC or IFZA faces the exact same rules as a mainland Dubai company.
This usually happens because of a clock mismatch. The goAML security system relies on absolute time sync. If your mobile phone’s internal clock varies from network time by even a few seconds, the system rejects the token. Switching your phone’s date and time settings to “Automatic” fixes it instantly.
The Ministry of Economy enforces a zero-tolerance policy for missing accounts. Firms caught operating without an active AML registration face administrative fines starting at AED 50,000. These can escalate into millions of dirhams alongside the potential suspension of your trade license.
Yes, UAE regulations allow you to outsource the MLRO function to an external compliance firm. When you partner with Kerand South, our team can take over the operational duties and portal management of your compliance officer. However, outsourcing the day-to-day work does not transfer your legal liability.
The UAE government does not impose any registration or annual fees for customers using the goAML portal. However, there is ongoing administrative work for the maintenance of the portal to track the changes in licenses renewal and officers.
SACM (Security Access Control Manager) is the security gateway that handles your user authentication and Google Authenticator connection. goAML is the operational portal where you manage your company profile and submit compliance filings. You must complete the SACM setup before you can access goAML.
