For FIA accountable and reporting institutions
Screen with confidence.
PIP and UN sanctions screening for institutions listed in Schedules 1 and 3 of the Financial Intelligence Act.
Screen a name, review the evidence behind what came back, and keep a certificate for the file. Every name we return can show its papers.

The names match once word order and punctuation are set aside. One candidate, with its evidence, for your team to review.
No entry on the dataset searched agreed with this name. A scoped negative finding — not clearance.

The coverage gap
Ask a global list about Namibia.
It will usually tell you there is nothing to find — while local records already hold the appointment, the role and its date.
That gap is where obligations under the Financial Intelligence Act quietly go unmet. Not because anyone hid anything, but because nobody local was reading the record.
A global screening list
No match.

Coverage stops where the commercial incentive does. Namibia is a rounding error on a global list.

How the register is built
Every record answers to a source.
A local record is read, captured as structured data, and kept with its evidence — the effective date, the reviewer who checked it, the state it is in. Nothing answers a search until a person has approved it against its source.

Provenance
The platform
PIP, UN sanctions, or both.
Run either on its own, or both in one search. Each list still answers separately, with its own certificate — because the two questions are not the same question.
PIP only
The Namibian PIP register, with its own certificate.
UN sanctions only
UN sanctions, naming the dataset version it answered from.
Both, in one search
One name, two lists. Each answers separately.
Who it's for
Accountable and reporting institutions.
The Act reaches further than banks and law firms. Schedules 1 and 3 name a long list of businesses carrying a screening obligation — most of which have never been offered local coverage.
Banks & financial institutions
Customers and related parties, before onboarding.
Legal practitioners
Clients and counterparties, before taking instructions.
Estate agents & property
Buyers, sellers and related parties, before an offer.
Accountants & auditors
Clients, before a covered transaction.
Trust & company service providers
Clients, when forming or administering legal persons and trusts.
Insurers, microlenders & NAMFISA-regulated firms
Policyholders, borrowers and related parties.
Auctioneers, MVTS & virtual-asset providers
Parties to auctions, transfers and virtual-asset services.
Casinos, gambling houses & bookmakers
Patrons and related parties, before you take their money.
Reporting institutions
Motor vehicle and second-hand dealers, jewellery, antiques, art.
And the other categories listed in FIA Schedules 1 and 3, as amended.
How screening works
Four steps, and a document at the end of them.
01
Choose the lists
PIP, UN sanctions, or both — whichever you have enabled.
02
Search
A name, and a date of birth if you have one. No ID numbers.
03
Review
Match, Possible match, or Nothing found — with the evidence. You decide.
04
Certificate
One per list, for the file. Anyone can verify it without an account.
The certificate
A record your auditor can check without asking you.
Every screen can issue a certificate for the file: who searched, when, which list, how names were compared, and what came back — including the limits of the answer.
It carries a verification code, so a regulator or auditor holding it can check it against what we issued — no account, no call to us. A certificate nobody can verify is a claim; this one is a record.
- One certificate per list
- A search across both issues one for each, so the two findings never travel as a single blended answer.
- Not an FIC clearance
- A record of a search and its result — not a clearance certificate, a legal opinion, or a regulatory approval.

How we work
Five commitments we make to every institution.
Compliance decisions carry legal weight, so the platform is conservative by default. These aren't features — they are rules it will not bend.
A name match is never an identity match.
Candidates arrive with their evidence, in words rather than a score. The platform never decides who someone is for you.
No risk scores.
Match, Possible match, or Nothing found, plus what agreed and what conflicted. A number would hide the reasoning your reviewer answers for.
Unknown stays unknown.
A source that states no date of birth produces a blank field, not a guess. One is information; the other is a liability.
History is preserved, not overwritten.
Leaving office does not erase a role. Past appointments keep their dates, as your risk assessment needs.
Every record answers to a source.
Provenance, evidence dates, verification state and the reviewer's decision travel with the record from capture to result.
Questions
What a result means, and what it doesn't.
What does a possible match mean?
That a name close to yours exists on the list, with the evidence shown. It is not a confirmed identity. Your team decides, and that decision is recorded separately from the finding.
Is a Dema IQ certificate an FIC clearance?
No. It records who searched, when, which list, how names were compared, and what came back. It is not an FIC clearance, a legal opinion, or a regulatory approval — and “nothing found” is a scoped negative finding, not clearance.
How are PIP and UN sanctions screening different?
They answer different questions: whether someone holds a Schedule 6 position, and whether they appear on the UN list. Neither cancels the other, so each keeps its own certificate.
Do I need a date of birth?
No — it is optional, and it sharpens a result. If a source never stated one, the register does not invent it; the result says so instead.
Can I search by ID or passport number?
No. Screening is by name, with an optional date of birth.
How do we get access?
We provision it. There is no public sign-up: we set up your organisation, enable your lists, and your administrator invites the rest of the team.
Screening you can put in front of a regulator.
Dema IQ works with approved institutions while the platform is early. Book a demonstration to discuss what you screen and the access that would follow.
No public sign-up. Accounts are provisioned after onboarding.
