The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below. | Evidence area | Documents needed | | ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Legal Registration | *All required:* State Registration Certificate + e-register.moj.am extract | | Constitutive Documents | Charter | | Tax Registration | TIN Certificate | | Ownership Records | *Any one of:* Participant Register · Share Register | | Governance Records | *All required:* Charter + Director Appointment Decision | | Signing Authority | Notarized Power of Attorney (Liazorагir) | | Address | *Any one of:* Վարձակալության պայմանագիր · Կոմունալ վճարման անդորրագիր · Բանկային քաղվածք | | Good Standing | e-register.moj.am extract | ## 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 | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | **State Registration Certificate** | Legal Registration | | **e-register.moj.am extract** | Legal Registration, Good Standing | | **Charter (Kanonadrutyun)** | Constitutive Documents, Governance Records | | **TIN Certificate (SRC)** | Tax Registration | | **Participant Register (LLC — Սահմանափակ Պատասխանատվությամբ Ընկերություն)** | Ownership Records | | **Share Register (JSC — Բաժնետիրական Ընկերություն)** | Ownership Records | | **Director Appointment Decision (e-register.moj.am extract)** | Governance Records | | **Notarized Power of Attorney (Liazorагir)** | Signing Authority | | **Վարձակալության պայմանագիր** | Address | | **Կոմունալ վճարման անդորրագիր (վերջին 90 օրը)** | Address | | **Բանկային քաղվածք (վերջին 90 օրը)** | Address | | **Sector-Specific License** | CBA license | **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. | Local role | Canonical API role | Description | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Tnoren / Gortsadir Tnoren (Director / Executive Director) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Day-to-day management authority; sole executive body for most LLCs. | | Tnorenner'i Khorh / Varchutyun (Board of Directors / Supervisory Board) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Governance body; mandatory for JSCs with >50 shareholders; optional for LLC and smaller JSC. | | Liazorагір Krogh (Power of Attorney Holder) | `LEGAL_REPRESENTATIVE` | Authorized by notarized PoA to legally bind the company externally. | ## 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).
