You must be registered before you commence any regulated dealing. **Enforcement actions will be conducted to detect unregistered dealers.** Any person who acts as or holds out to be a regulated dealer without being registered or exempted, may face criminal penalties of up to S$75,000 in fine and/or up to 3 years' imprisonment. You may access the List of Registered Dealers [here](/regulated-dealers/list-of-registered-dealers/). ## Who is Required to Register? You are required to register with the Registrar of Regulated Dealers if you are a regulated dealer i.e. you carry on a business of regulated dealing in precious stones, precious metals and/or precious products ("**PSPM**"), or as an intermediary for regulated dealing in PSPMs. Examples of regulated dealers who are required to register include, but are not limited to jewellers, bullion traders, jewellery wholesalers, jewellery retailers, secondhand goods dealers, auction houses, and trading platforms.

Please refer to the [PSPM Act ↗ (opens in new tab)](https://sso.agc.gov.sg/Act/PSPMPMLTFPFA2019) for the official definitions.
