The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below. | Evidence area | Documents needed | | ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Legal Registration | Extrait du Registre de Commerce | | Constitutive Documents | Statuts | | Tax Registration | *All required:* Carte NIF + Carte NIS | | Operating Permit | *Any one of:* Carte d'Artisan · Autorisation d'Exercice | | Ownership Records | *Any one of:* Statuts · Registre des Associés | | Governance Records | *All required:* Statuts + PV de nomination | | Signing Authority | PV du Conseil | | Address | *Any one of:* Contrat de bail · Facture de services · Relevé bancaire | | Good Standing | *Any one of:* Attestation de Non-Faillite · Extrait du Registre de Commerce | ## 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. | Document | Proves | | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Extrait du Registre de Commerce (CNRC)** | Legal Registration, Good Standing | | **Statuts** | Constitutive Documents, Ownership Records, Governance Records | | **Carte NIF** | Tax Registration | | **Carte NIS** | Tax Registration | | **Carte d'Artisan** | Operating Permit | | **Autorisation d'Exercice** | Operating Permit | | **Registre des Associés** | Ownership Records | | **PV de nomination** | Governance Records | | **PV du Conseil** | Signing Authority | | **Contrat de bail** | Address | | **Facture de services (≤90 jours)** | Address | | **Relevé bancaire (≤90 jours)** | Address | | **Attestation de Non-Faillite (Certificat de Non-Faillite)** | Good Standing | | **Sector-Specific License** | Banque d'Algérie, COSOB | ### Collection notes * **Address:** Lease (no time-bound recency requirement) OR utility bill OR bank statement dated within 90 days. Satisfies both registered-address and operating-address checks. * **Good Standing:** Issued by the registry of the competent commercial court (Greffe du Tribunal de Commerce) after verification — distinct from the CNRC Extrait du Registre de Commerce. Required for public tenders and similar good-standing checks; expect issuance within 3 months for tender use. Banks typically accept a CNRC Extrait issued within 3 months in place of the attestation for KYB purposes. ## Person roles When you submit a person on the application body, set their `role` to one of Conduit's canonical `BusinessPersonRole` values.
