AML Act

Does your company have to register in goAML?

Enter a company name or ID number. We will show whether any registered line of business creates an obligation to register under the AML Act, and with a few questions you add what the register does not show. Free, for companies.

Deadlines

By when to register

30. 11. 2026

if the company was already an obliged entity before 1 June 2026

30 days

from the day the company became an obliged entity, if that was on or after 1 June 2026

According to the FIU guidance. The deadline runs from the moment the obligation arises, not from the founding of the company. The procedure is described in the article Registration in goAML.

What the tool cannot read from the register
  • We do not check sole traders (self-employed persons); the tool is for companies.
  • We see only the registered lines of business. An obligation can also arise from an activity that is not registered.
  • Authorisations of the National Bank of Slovakia and professional qualifications of tax advisers and auditors need not appear in the companies register.
  • For legal and notarial services, we rely on your answer. The tool does not assess bailiffs and insolvency administrators, who are usually natural persons.
  • We do not check whether the company is already registered in goAML.
  • This is not legal advice. If you are an obliged entity, the obligation applies regardless of the tool’s result.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about goAML registration

Who has to register in goAML?

Every obliged entity under the AML act. These include, for example, accountants, auditors, tax advisers, real estate agents, lenders, providers of leasing and factoring, currency exchanges, payment institutions, gambling operators and crypto-asset service providers. The obligation does not depend on legal form or company size, but on the activity carried out. Any business that receives or pays at least €10,000 in cash also becomes an obliged entity, even if it is several smaller related payments (Section 5(3)).

What does the tool base its result on?

From the business activities the company has entered in the register of legal entities. We compare them with the list of activities in § 5 of the AML Act and with the division into groups under the guidance of the Financial Intelligence Unit of 14. 10. 2026. For each match you see which activity it is, which section applies and since when it has been entered. What cannot be seen in the register, such as cash transactions, you add in the questions alongside the result. If the register does not state business activities, the tool says so and issues no verdict.

What does “only once you carry out the activity” mean?

For services for business companies (setting up companies, registered office, acting as managing director for others) and for organisational and economic advisers, it is not enough that the activity is entered. The company becomes an obliged entity only when it actually provides these services. For property rental brokerage, the monthly rent must also be at least €10,000, and for auction houses, art dealing, precious metals and pawnshops, the transaction must be at least €10,000. The tool asks you about this alongside the result and adjusts the verdict according to your answer.

The tool found no obligation. Is that enough?

It is a good signal, but not a guarantee. The tool sees only the entry in the register. An obligation can also arise from an activity the firm carries out without being registered for it, and a tax adviser or auditor holds a professional authorisation that may not appear in the companies register. A cash transaction of €10,000 or more (§ 5 para. 3) cannot be seen from the register, which is why we ask about it separately. The tool does not assess bailiffs and insolvency administrators. If in doubt, consult an accountant or a lawyer.

We have the activity entered but do not carry it out. Do we have to register?

For activities in the first group, yes, for example bookkeeping, leasing, factoring or real estate sales brokerage. Under the FIU guidance, the obligation arises as soon as the authorisation is obtained, regardless of whether you actually carry out the activity. If you do not carry it out and do not plan to, the FIU recommends considering aligning the business activities in the register with your actual business.

We have several such activities. Do we register multiple times?

No, one registration is enough. Under the FIU guidance, you state the category of the main or predominant activity in the registration form and the others in the note. If another activity from this list is added after registration, you do not need to register again.

What is the registration deadline?

Under the FIU guidance, an obliged entity that was one before 1 June 2026 has until 30 November 2026. Anyone who became an obliged entity from 1 June 2026 must register within 30 days of the day they became one. Registration is approved by the Financial Intelligence Unit, so do not leave it to the last day. You will find the procedure in the article Registration in goAML.

Why do you not check sole traders?

The tool is intended for companies, that is, legal entities. We do not check sole traders. If you run a business as a sole trader, compare your activities with the list higher up on the page, or ask us.
