Overview

Identifiers

Collect two identifiers from each business customer in Albania and submit them as strings on the application body. Tax ID: 10-char format: letter + 8 digits + check letter (e.g. K12345678L). Doubles as VAT number. Issued at registration; appears on Certifikata e Regjistrimit. Registration number: 10-char format: letter + 8 digits + check letter (e.g. K12345678L). Doubles as VAT number. Issued at registration; appears on Certifikata e Regjistrimit.

How documents combine

For each evidence area, this table shows whether the listed documents are alternatives (any one of) or a bundle (all required). The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below.

​
Documents to collect

The physical documents you’ll collect from your customer, with the evidence area each one proves. One document can prove multiple areas — for example, Brazil’s Cartão CNPJ covers both tax and business-registration proof, so it appears once with both areas listed.

Collection notes

  • Legal Registration: Downloadable from qkb.gov.al by NUIS or company name; free public access.
  • Constitutive Documents: Single constitutive document per Law 9901/2008; notarised for Sh.a.; filed with and retrievable from QKB.
  • Tax Registration: Issued by DPT on registration; NUIS is simultaneously the VAT number. Non-profits and farmers register directly with the Regional Tax Directorate.
  • Operating Permit: Licenses issued via National Licensing Center (NLC) under Law 10081/2009; some categories delegated to Bashki (municipality). Sector-specific activities (banking, telecom, energy) licensed separately by relevant regulator.
  • Sector-Specific License: Applies to: banking and non-bank financial institutions (Bank of Albania); insurance, securities, pensions (AFSA/AMF); telecom operators (AKEP).
  • Ownership Records: Shareholders (Ortakë for Sh.p.k., Aksionarë for Sh.a.) are listed in the QKB extract with quota percentages.
  • Governance Records: Lists administrator(s) (Sh.p.k.) or board of directors members (Sh.a.) with names and appointment dates; update via QKB change-of-data filing.
  • Signing Authority: Notarisation required for PoAs granting broad signing authority; administrator authority derives from appointment in Statuti and QKB filing.
  • Address: Lease (no time bound) OR utility bill OR bank statement (utility/bank dated within 90 days). Same evidence satisfies both registered-address and operating-address checks.
  • Good Standing: No standalone good-standing certificate is issued; a recently dated copy of the listed document evidences current standing. QKB issues no separate certificate of good standing; a freshly downloaded Certifikata e Regjistrimit from qkb.gov.al reflects current active/inactive status and serves this purpose (subsumed-by-extract pattern)

​
Person roles

When you submit a person on the application body, set their role to one of Conduit’s canonical BusinessPersonRole values. Use this table to map a local corporate-governance title onto the right canonical role.

​
Notes

  • Single identifier: NUIS = registration number = VAT number. Albania does not issue a separate company registration number (CRN) distinct from the tax ID; the NUIS is used for all purposes. Map both businessInfo.taxId and businessInfo.businessEntityId to the same NUIS value.
  • Sh.p.k. minimum capital is nominally ALL 100 (~€0.90). Do not rely on share capital as a proxy for financial substance; request financial statements or bank reference separately for risk-scoring purposes.
