Primary Factors for Registration
as a Precious Metals and Stones Dealer
Requirements to register
Any individual engaging in activities related to precious metals, stones, or products as a business must comply with the following: trading, including purchasing and selling, exporting, or importing these items; manufacturing, refining, or performing value-added work on them; issuing, redeeming, or trading in precious-asset-backed instruments; or acting as an intermediary in these activities. However, this does not apply if the individual solely operates a logistics service business and only imports or exports precious metals, stones, or products in the ordinary course of that business.
Qualifications and credentials
To apply for Category A registration, an applicant with a valid business registration certificate or hawker’s license simply needs to submit details of all business premises, a correspondence address, and a declaration of lawful business purposes. This registration remains valid as long as the business operates and the annual fee is paid. In contrast, Category B registration requires applicants to pass a fit-and-proper test and demonstrate compliance with AML/CTF requirements outlined in Schedule 2 of the AMLO and relevant guidelines. Along with a valid business registration certificate or hawker’s license, applicants must provide all business premises addresses and a correspondence address. Category B registration is typically valid for three years, with renewal applications due at least 60 days before expiration.
