Real estate agents, accountants, lawyers, and jewellers must verify all clients from this date. Non-compliance can mean significant civil penalties set in penalty units.

What is an AML check?

An AML check (Anti-Money Laundering check) is a mandatory identity verification process required under Australia's AML/CTF Act 2006. It verifies that a person or business entity is who they claim to be and screens them against global AML watchlists to detect potential money laundering, terrorism financing, or financial crime risks.

An AML check involves three key components:

Document verification: Validating government-issued ID (driver's licence, passport, Medicare card)
Biometric authentication: Selfie + liveness check to confirm the person matches their ID
AML screening: Checking the individual or entity against sanctions lists, PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) databases, and criminal watchlists

The result is a Customer Due Diligence (CDD) report that provides proof of compliance for AUSTRAC audits.
