Overview
What is SCUML Registration?
The Special Control Unit against Money Laundering (SCUML) registers designated non-financial businesses and professions (DNFBPs), such as real estate firms, hotels, car dealers, NGOs and professional firms. Banks and other counterparties often ask for the SCUML certificate as proof that a business is registered.
On Docufy you enter your RC or BN number, business details and a contact person, and upload your CAC documents. A vetted partner firm registers the business with SCUML and follows it up, and your certificate lands in your vault as a PDF with a verify link.
