Overview

​
Identifiers

Collect two identifiers from each business customer in Brunei Darussalam and submit them as strings on the application body. Tax ID: Brunei does not issue a separate TIN certificate; the ROCBN registration number (RC/RFC prefix) functions as the corporate TIN for Income Tax filings. Registration number: Brunei does not issue a separate TIN certificate; the ROCBN registration number (RC/RFC prefix) functions as the corporate TIN for Income Tax filings.

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 Brunei Darussalam: Good Standing. Skip these areas — no local artifact exists.

Collection notes

  • Legal Registration: Issued by ROCBN; searchable via OCP (ocp.mofe.gov.bn). Foreign branches: Certificate of Registration of Foreign Company.
  • Constitutive Documents: Filed with ROCBN at incorporation; amendments require ROCBN filing. Both documents required.
  • Tax Registration: No standalone TIN certificate; request a tax-registration confirmation letter from Revenue Division, MoFE. Registration number = TIN.
  • Operating Permit: Issued by ROCBN or relevant ministry depending on activity; required post-incorporation before commencing trade.
  • Sector-Specific License: Required for banking (Banking Order 2006), insurance (Insurance Order 2006), capital markets (Securities Markets Order 2013), takaful, and money-changing. Regulator: BDCB.
  • Ownership Records: Register of Members (Cap. 39 s. 98): equity holders. Maintained at registered office; not publicly searchable via OCP.
  • Governance Records: Maintained at registered office and filed with ROCBN; updated via OCP. Annual return reflects current directors.
  • Signing Authority: Board resolution authorising signatory or POA (notarised if issued overseas); standard for executing agreements and account openings.
  • Address: Conduit universal policy: lease (no time bound) OR utility bill OR bank statement, with utility/bank dated within 90 days. Same evidence satisfies both registered-address and operating-address checks.

​
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 separate TIN certificate: Brunei does not issue a distinct tax identification certificate; the ROCBN registration number doubles as the TIN. Collect a Revenue Division acknowledgment letter and confirm the number format (RC/RFC prefix).
  • IBC regime is defunct: The International Business Companies Order 2000 regime was wound down; all IBCs were required to migrate or dissolve by 30 June 2018. Do not accept IBC certificates as evidence of current good standing.
  • BDCB renamed in 2021: Autoriti Monetari Brunei Darussalam (AMBD) became Brunei Darussalam Central Bank (BDCB) on 2021-06-27 (Order in force date). Regulatory licences and correspondence pre-2021 may carry the AMBD name — treat as equivalent.
