Evidence type: authored paraphrase of inspected source, not a source snapshot

Supported claim: The guidance addresses licensing or registration, supervision and AML/CFT duties for VASPs. Its current publication page warns that the 2021 text does not reflect later changes, including 2025 Recommendation 1 revisions.

Limit: Historical guidance must not be presented as a complete statement of October 2026 standards. FATF registration concepts do not prove permission for every product or residence.
