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
- Address: Lease (no time bound) or utility bill or bank statement dated within 90 days. Acceptable for both registered-address and operating-address verification.
- Good Standing: Issued by the Companies and Intellectual Property Authority (CIPA) under the Botswana Companies Act (CAP 42:01). Used in re-registration and cross-border banking. Request within 30 days of submission.
