Overview

​
Identifiers

Collect two identifiers from each business customer in Armenia and submit them as strings on the application body. Tax ID: 8 digits; digit 8 is a check digit; also serves as VAT ID; issued automatically on company registration. Banks’ TINs issued by CBA. Registration number: Numeric identifier in the State Unified Register; shown on the State Registration Certificate and e-register.moj.am extract.

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. Not applicable in Armenia: Operating Permit. Skip these areas — no local artifact exists.

Collection notes

  • Legal Registration: Extract is downloadable from e-register.moj.am and confirms current status and registered details.
  • Constitutive Documents: Single constitutive document for LLC and JSC alike; filed with and stamped by MoJ on registration.
  • Tax Registration: 8-digit TIN; also functions as VAT number; issued automatically at state registration.
  • Sector-Specific License: Required for banks, credit organizations, insurance companies, payment service providers, investment funds, securities firms.
  • Ownership Records: LLC participants (Մասնակիցներ) and their participation percentages are maintained in the entity’s internal register. JSC shareholders are recorded in the Share Register maintained by a licensed registrar or the company itself.
  • Governance Records: Current executive director(s) appear in state register extract; appointment resolution is the underlying instrument.
  • Signing Authority: PoA must be notarized; electronic apostilles only since 2021-04-26 (MoJ).
  • 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. ASRLE issues no separate certificate of good standing; a freshly downloaded e-register.moj.am extract reflects current active/inactive company 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

  • No general operating license exists. Armenia has no general municipal business-activity permit; the Operating Permit field is not applicable for non-regulated businesses — only sector-specific CBA licenses apply.
  • Banks and financial institutions are registered by CBA, not MoJ. Their TINs are also issued by CBA; e-register.moj.am extracts will not show these entities — query the CBA register separately.
  • Electronic apostille only since 2021-04-26. Armenia issues apostilles exclusively in electronic form via the Ministry of Justice; paper apostilles are no longer valid. Armenia is a Hague Apostille Convention party since 1994 (accession 1993-11-19, in force 1994-08-14).
