AMLA finalised the draft CDD RTS under Article 28(1) AMLR on 1 October 2026 and submitted it to the European Commission.
How to verify customers remotely under AMLR: what AMLA's draft CDD RTS changes ↗
What happened
- AMLR applies from 10 July 2027; the CDD RTS applies six months after its entry into force.
- Under the draft, a remote document check is an alternative solution allowed only when the customer cannot reasonably be expected to present an ID document face-to-face and has no access to a qualifying eID or relevant qualified trust service.
Why it matters to Signicat
- The draft makes eID (including EUDI Wallet) the preferred remote verification route, which bears directly on Signicat's eID Hub and Wallet Hub positioning.
- Authologic markets itself on eID-first onboarding with one API and WebSDK, a direct overlap with Signicat's eID brokering and document IDV offerings; the claim is vendor-stated and uncorroborated.
