Anti-money laundering notice
Citizenship and residence applications can involve checks on identity, background and the origin of funds. These checks help address financial crime risks and meet the requirements of the organisations involved.
Information you may need to provide
Depending on the stage of your case and the relevant requirements, we or the professionals handling your application may request:
- Identity documents and evidence of your residential address.
- Information about your occupation, business interests and background.
- Evidence showing where the funds for your application came from and how your wealth was accumulated.
- Details of a person or business making a payment on your behalf.
Further information may be needed to clarify a document or complete a review. Please provide accurate, complete and current information.
How a review affects your case
Our service review is separate from checks carried out by submitting professionals, payment providers and government authorities. Passing one review does not ensure acceptance by another organisation.
We may pause or decline an engagement if required checks cannot be completed, information cannot be verified or proceeding would be unlawful. Where the law restricts disclosure, we may be unable to explain every aspect of a review.
Payments and records
Empire Passports does not hold client investment funds. Follow the written payment instructions provided for your engagement and the relevant program.
