Overview

​
Identifiers

Collect two identifiers from each business customer in Bosnia and Herzegovina and submit them as strings on the application body. Tax ID: JIB: 13 digits (DDMMYY + municipality code + sequential + check digit). PDV broj (VAT): 12-digit number derived from JIB, issued by UIO upon VAT registration (threshold: BAM 100,000 annual turnover). Registration number: Format varies by entity and register; appears on the Rješenje o registraciji and registry extract (izvod).

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: Extract must be ≤3 months old. Specify which register (FBiH cantonal court, APIF, or Brčko District) based on registered entity address.
  • Constitutive Documents: Must be notarized. Single-member d.o.o. uses Odluka o osnivanju; multi-member uses Ugovor o osnivanju. d.d. requires separate Statut.
  • Tax Registration: JIB from entity-level tax administration; PDV broj (12-digit, derived from JIB) from UIO upon VAT registration. Collect both where applicable.
  • Operating Permit: Issued by the relevant municipality; requirements differ by canton (FBiH) or municipality (RS). Not all activities require a separate permit.
  • Sector-Specific License: Required for banking, insurance, securities, and other regulated activities. FBA and ABRS licenses differ by entity.
  • Governance Records: Direktor(i) and authorized representatives (prokuristi) are listed in the public registry extract.
  • Signing Authority: For legal representatives not already listed as direktor in the registry, a notarized POA (punomoć) or board resolution (odluka) is required.
  • Address: Lease (no time bound) OR utility bill OR bank statement, with utility/bank dated within 90 days.
  • Good Standing: Bosnia and Herzegovina does not issue a separate good-standing certificate. The Izvod iz sudskog/APIF registra (court or APIF register extract), issued on request by the cantonal court (FBiH), APIF (RS) or Brčko District court, carries the entity’s current registered data and active status. Accept an extract dated within 90 days.

​
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

  • Three parallel registries, three AML regimes: FBiH uses cantonal court registers (bizreg.ba); RS uses APIF (apif.net); Brčko District uses its basic court register. Each entity has its own commercial company law, registration procedure, and entity-level tax administration. A Bosnian company’s KYB document set must be sourced from the correct register — do not mix cross-entity extracts.
  • PDV broj vs. JIB: The PDV broj is a 12-digit number derived from the 13-digit JIB, issued separately by UIO upon VAT registration. Do not substitute the JIB for the PDV broj on cross-border invoices — the UIO taxpayer database explicitly requires a 12-digit entry for VAT lookups.
