Decree No. 355/021 published in the Official Gazette on October 27, 2021, establishes the obligation of establishing an electronic domicile (DOMEL), with the National Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Secretariat (SENACLAFT). An electronic domicile must be established by nonfinancial sector reporting entities and all individuals and legal entities carrying out SENACLAFT procedures.
Note that the DOMEL will be the only valid means of notification to be used by SENACLAFT. Notices given via the DOMEL will have the same legal validity as those given by conventional means.
The term for establishing a DOMEL is 90 calendar days as of October 29, 2021 (the day following the Decree’s entry into force).
