The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below. | Evidence area | Documents needed | | ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Legal Registration | *Any one of:* Constancia de Inscripción IGJ · Constancia de Inscripción DPPJ | | Constitutive Documents | *Any one of:* Estatuto · Contrato Social | | Tax Registration | *All required:* Constancia de CUIT + Inscripción Ingresos Brutos | | Operating Permit | Habilitación Municipal | | Ownership Records | *All required:* Estatuto + Libro de Registro de Acciones | | Governance Records | *All required:* Estatuto + Acta de Designación de Autoridades | | Signing Authority | *All required:* Acta de Directorio + Poder Notarial | | Address | *Any one of:* Contrato de Locación · Constancia de Domicilio · Estado de Cuenta Bancario | | Good Standing | Certificado de Vigencia y Pleno Cumplimiento | ## 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 | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Constancia de Inscripción IGJ (CABA)** | Legal Registration | | **DPPJ (provincial)** | Legal Registration | | **Estatuto** | Constitutive Documents, Ownership Records, Governance Records | | **Contrato Social** | Constitutive Documents | | **Constancia de CUIT (ARCA, formerly AFIP)** | Tax Registration | | **Inscripción Ingresos Brutos (provincial tax registration — AGIP / ARBA / provincial)** | Tax Registration | | **Habilitación Municipal** | Operating Permit | | **Libro de Registro de Acciones** | Ownership Records | | **Acta de Designación de Autoridades** | Governance Records | | **Acta de Directorio** | Signing Authority | | **Poder Notarial (notarized POA)** | Signing Authority | | **Contrato de Locación** | Address | | **Constancia de Domicilio (≤90 días)** | Address | | **Estado de Cuenta Bancario (≤90 días)** | Address | | **Certificado de Vigencia y Pleno Cumplimiento (CEVIP) — IGJ / DPPJ** | Good Standing | | **Sector-Specific License** | BCRA, CNV, SSN, ENACOM, UIF | ### Collection notes * **Tax Registration:** CUIT covers federal taxes. Inscripción Ingresos Brutos is the provincial gross-income tax registration (AGIP in CABA, ARBA in Buenos Aires province, equivalent provincial agencies elsewhere) and is collected where the entity operates — this is a tax registration, not an operating permit. * **Address:** Lease accepted without time bound. Utility bill or bank statement must be dated within 90 days. Either document satisfies both registered-address and operating-address checks. * **Good Standing:** Issued by IGJ (CABA) or the provincial DPPJ via Trámites a Distancia (TAD). Evidences validity, legality and full compliance with registration obligations. CEVIP is valid for six months from issuance; banks and counterparties commonly require it within 30 days. For sociedades anónimas, if the registered board's term has expired the certificate states so expressly. ## 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. | Local role | Canonical API role | Description | | ------------------- | ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | | Director | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Board member in S.A. Majority must be Argentine residents. | | Presidente | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Board chair. | | Director Suplente | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Backup board member.
