Dear Ms. Cruz,
 
Thank you for your request dated 14 September 2023 under Executive Order No. 2, Series of 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 real estate brokers 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 required 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). You may refer to the process to secure the PCOR detailed in Page 9 of the AMLC Citizens’ Charter available at amlc.gov.ph/images/PDFs/PR2023/CART2023.pdf.
 
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 requirements under Section 50 of the DNFBP Guidelines. You may refer to the process to secure the COR detailed in Page 7 of the AMLC Citizens’ Charter. 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 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.
 
Please be guided accordingly.

Respectfully,

FOI Decision Maker
