The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below. | Evidence area | Documents needed | | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Legal Registration | *Required:* (Any one of: Inscripción Reg. de Comercio · Diario Oficial) + Certificado RES | | Constitutive Documents | *All required:* Escritura Pública + Estatutos | | Tax Registration | Cédula RUT | | Operating Permit | *All required:* Patente Municipal + Inicio de Actividades SII | | Ownership Records | Registro de Accionistas | | Governance Records | Acta de Sesión de Directorio | | Signing Authority | *Any one of:* Inscripción de Poderes · Escritura de Poder | | Address | *Any one of:* Contrato de Arrendamiento · Cuenta de Servicios · Estado de Cuenta Bancario | | Good Standing | *Any one of:* Certificado de Vigencia · Certificado de Vigencia | ## 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 | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | | **Certificado del Registro de Empresas y Sociedades (Tu Empresa en un Día)** | Legal Registration, Good Standing | | **Inscripción Reg. de Comercio** | Legal Registration | | **Diario Oficial** | Legal Registration | | **Escritura Pública** | Constitutive Documents | | **Estatutos** | Constitutive Documents | | **Cédula RUT (SII)** | Tax Registration | | **Patente Municipal** | Operating Permit | | **Inicio de Actividades SII** | Operating Permit | | **Registro de Accionistas** | Ownership Records | | **Acta de Sesión de Directorio** | Governance Records | | **Inscripción de Poderes** | Signing Authority | | **Escritura de Poder** | Signing Authority | | **Contrato de Arrendamiento** | Address | | **Cuenta de Servicios (≤90 días)** | Address | | **Estado de Cuenta Bancario (≤90 días)** | Address | | **Certificado de Vigencia de Sociedad (Registro de Comercio / CBR)** | Good Standing | | **Sector-Specific License** | CMF, UAF, Sec. Salud | ### Collection notes * **Legal Registration:** Two pathways. Traditional pathway (pre-2013 and still in use for SAs and complex structures): notarised Escritura Pública → Inscripción in the Registro de Comercio at the local Conservador de Bienes Raíces → publication of an Extracto in the Diario Oficial — both artifacts required together. Simplified pathway under Ley 20.659 ("Tu Empresa en un Día", eff. 2013-05): incorporation via the electronic Registro de Empresas y Sociedades (registrodeempresasysociedades.cl) — produces a single Certificado de Estatuto Actualizado / Certificado de Vigencia from RES, no Diario Oficial publication required. As of 2020 \~85% of new Chilean entities are RES-formed (predominantly SpA, Ltda, EIRL). Accept either pathway. * **Address:** Lease agreement (no time bound) OR utility bill OR bank statement dated within 90 days. Same evidence satisfies both registered-address and operating-address checks. * **Good Standing:** Two issuance paths mirroring Chile's two incorporation paths. Traditional path: Certificado de Vigencia de Sociedad from the Registro de Comercio at the Conservador de Bienes Raíces of the entity's domicile. Simplified path (Ley 20.659 'Tu Empresa en un Día'): Certificado de Vigencia online from the Registro de Empresas y Sociedades (RES) portal. Banks typically require issuance within 30 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. | Local role | Canonical API role | Description | | ------------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------ | | Director | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Board member. Required in S.A. | | Presidente del Directorio | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Heads the board. | | Gerente General | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Day-to-day management. | | Representante Legal | `LEGAL_REPRESENTATIVE` | Legal representative. | ## Notes * Publication in the Official Gazette (Diario Oficial) is a required formation step.
