AMLR timeline 2027
10 July 2027 is the date most professional services firms should put on the wall for Regulation (EU) 2024/1624 (AMLR) becoming directly applicable. Preparation is a multi-year programme: process, training, and tooling — not a last-minute policy PDF.

What the date does and does not mean
It marks broad AMLR applicability. It does not mean national registers or supervisors freeze in place, nor that AMLA is already a finished, fully operational enforcement machine everywhere. Institutional and guidance build-up continues around and after that date.

Use as a starting inventory; customise per practice area.
- Inventory entity types and recurring special cases in your mandate book
- Standardise UBO determination documentation templates
- Train staff on AMLR vs AMLD6 vs AMLA vocabulary
- Select tooling that preserves audit trails
- Schedule quarterly content/process reviews through 2027
