## AML Check — Quick Guide

Use this form to create a new AML (Anti-Money Laundering) check for a person or company.
It screens your subject against selected datasets such as **Sanctions**, **PEPs**, and others.

***

### 1. Enter Subject Details

Fill in the identifying information for the person or company you want to screen.

* **Full name** — required.
* **Client ID** — optional internal reference.
* **Date of birth / Gender** — helps narrow results.
* **Address or nationality** — adds context and reduces false matches.

Make sure all required fields are completed before continuing.

***

### 2. Apply Filters

Fine-tune your search by selecting which datasets and parameters to use.

* **Datasets** — select what to check (e.g., *PEP*, *Sanction*, *Adverse Media*).
* **Matching threshold** — sets how closely the results must match.
* **PEP status** — include current, former, or linked PEPs.
* **Sanctions status** — include current or former sanctions.
* **Sanction databases** — specify or exclude certain lists if needed.

Adjust these filters depending on your screening requirements.

***

### 3. Create or Discard

Once all required information is filled in:

* Click **Create** to start the AML check.
* Click **Discard** to cancel.

If the “Create” button is disabled, review the form and complete any missing fields.

After submission, the system will return [**potential matches (profiles)**](/guides/dashboard/aml/aml-check-results-and-profiles) based on your input.
Review each profile to confirm whether it refers to your subject.
