AML Certificate exemption declaration

If your firm does not participate in any of the activities that bring a firm in to scope of the 2017 Money Laundering Regulations and you have not yet been exempted but believe that you should be, please complete the exemption declaration form below.

I hereby certify to the Law Society of Scotland, as Anti-Money Laundering Supervisor for Scottish solicitors, that neither my firm nor I provide legal or notarial services that fall within the scope of the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017. *

I understand that giving this declaration while knowing, or having reasonable grounds for suspecting, that I or my practice is NOT exempt (or will imminently fall within scope of the Regulations) amounts to a breach of Accounts Rules B.1.2 and B9.3(e). Breach of these rules may be treated seriously by the Law Society of Scotland. *

I confirm that, should circumstances change and I or my firm start to provide legal or notarial services that fall within the scope of the 2017 Money Laundering Regulations, I will seek approval from the Law Society of Scotland before I start to provide those services. *
