We are an East African regulatory body dedicated to the certification and verification of mineral consignments. Our mandate is to ensure that all minerals are legally sourced, properly documented, and compliant with regional and international standards. We issue and verify certificates including the Certificate of Origin, Certificate of Ownership, ICGLR Regional Certificate, Non-Criminality Certificate, and Export Permits.

By providing a trusted certification and verification framework, we promote transparency, legality, and responsible trade in the mineral sector.
ICGLR CERTIFICATE
The ICGLR (International Conference on the Great Lakes Region) Regional Certificate is a mandatory document for the trade and export of minerals sourced from member states. It serves to confirm that the minerals are legally mined, conflict-free, and in compliance with regional and international standards. The certificate is issued following strict verification of the mineral’s origin, ownership, and legality, and is recognized by customs and regulatory authorities across ICGLR member countries, including Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Possession of a valid ICGLR certificate is essential to ensure lawful export and to promote responsible and transparent mineral trade.
UN COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE
The UN Simplified Compliance Certificate is an internationally recognized document that verifies the legality, authenticity, and regulatory compliance of mineral consignments. It is designed to streamline export and trade procedures by confirming that the minerals meet United Nations standards and are free from illegal or conflict-related activities. This certificate is obtained after thorough assessment and certification by the relevant authorities, ensuring that all required documentation, including ownership, origin, and export permits, is accurate and valid. Possession of a UN Simplified Compliance Certificate facilitates lawful international trade and enhances transparency, accountability, and confidence among buyers, exporters, and regulatory bodies.
CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN , OWNERSHIP AND EXPORT PERMIT
For the lawful trade and export of gold, it is mandatory to obtain the appropriate certificates and permits. The Certificate of Origin establishes the source of the gold and confirms that it was mined in compliance with national and international regulations. The Certificate of Ownership verifies the legal possession and rights of the holder over the gold, ensuring that it is not subject to dispute or illicit acquisition. Additionally, an Export Permit is required to authorize the movement of gold across borders, confirming that all legal, regulatory, and tax obligations have been met. Together, these documents provide a complete legal framework that safeguards the legitimacy, transparency, and traceability of gold consignments.
