AML / KYC Notice

AML & KYC Compliance

Birland Diamonds (AJDrive OÜ, Estonia)

At Birland Diamonds, we strictly follow the requirements of the EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive (AMLD5), the Estonian Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Prevention Act, and FATF international standards.

As a marketplace specializing in lab-grown CVD diamonds, including investment-grade stones, we are legally required to perform Know Your Customer (KYC) checks for certain transactions.

1. When KYC Verification Is Required

KYC is mandatory in the following cases:

  • Orders equal to or exceeding USD 1,000

  • Orders paid via online payment systems if additional verification is flagged

  • Any transaction assessed as suspicious under AML rules

  • Orders involving investment-grade diamonds

2. What Information We Collect

To comply with international AML regulations, we may request:

  • Passport or National ID

  • Proof of address (utility bill/bank statement – max 3 months old)

  • Live selfie verification

  • Additional documentation if requested by authorities

Verification is performed via our trusted partner Veriff, an EU-regulated digital identity provider.

3. How KYC Verification Works

  1. After placing an order, you may be asked to complete identity verification.

  2. You will be redirected to Veriff’s secure verification flow.

  3. Your order will be processed only after successful verification.

  4. If verification fails, the order will be cancelled and refunded.

4. Data Storage & Security

All KYC data is stored in an encrypted environment for 5 years, as required by EU law.

Storage structure:

  • Verified documents → secure digital vault

  • Transaction records → CRM system
