#### Create a client <a href="#create-a-client" id="create-a-client"></a>

The first step in running any check is to create a client (i.e. a customer).

Navigate to the [Clients](https://portal.complycube.com/clients) page and click the "**Add client**" button. Enter the following details and add client:

* **First Name:** John
* **Last Name:** Doe
* **Email:** <john.doe@test.com>

{% hint style="info" %}
The more data you provide about a client, the richer and more accurate ComplyCube AML Screening Checks will be. We **highly recommend** that you provide the client's **date of birth** before conducting an AML Screening Check.

#### Perform AML Screening Check <a href="#perform-aml-screening-check" id="perform-aml-screening-check"></a>

To run an AML Screening Check, click the "**Perform verification**" button. A wizard will appear, allowing you to choose the type of check you want to perform.

First, select "**Verify now using existing data**".

There are two types of AML Screening Checks - [Standard AML Screening](/documentation/product-guides/watchlist-pep-and-adverse-media/aml-screening-check.md#service-variants) and [Extensive AML Screening](/documentation/product-guides/watchlist-pep-and-adverse-media/aml-screening-check.md#service-variants). For this example, select "**Extensive AML Screening**", then click "**Run check**".

For this guide, mark "**Enable continuous monitoring**" as "**Disabled**".
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### View check results <a href="#view-check-results" id="view-check-results"></a>

Once the check has concluded, you will automatically be taken to the check results page.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

That's it! You've completed your first AML Screening Check.

If you're using the **Sandbox** environment, you can try out various scenarios using our [testing data](/documentation/integration-resources/testing-data.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.complycube.com/documentation/quick-guides/web-portal-quick-guide/perform-aml-screening.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
