#### 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.

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.

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).
