The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below. | Evidence area | Documents needed | | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Legal Registration | Extrait RCCM | | Constitutive Documents | Statuts | | Tax Registration | Attestation IDU | | Operating Permit | Patente | | Ownership Records | *Any one of:* Statuts · Registre des Associés · Registre des Actions | | Governance Records | *All required:* Extrait RCCM + Statuts + PV de nomination | | Signing Authority | *Any one of:* PV d'AG · Résolution du Conseil d'Administration | | Address | *Any one of:* Bail commercial · Quittance (CIE / SODECI) · Relevé bancaire | | Good Standing | Extrait RCCM | ## 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 | | ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Extrait RCCM** | Legal Registration, Governance Records, Good Standing | | **Statuts** | Constitutive Documents, Ownership Records, Governance Records | | **IDU (Identifiant Unique)** | Tax Registration | | **Patente** | Operating Permit | | **Registre des Associés (SARL)** | Ownership Records | | **Registre des Actions (SA)** | Ownership Records | | **PV de nomination** | Governance Records | | **PV d'AG** | Signing Authority | | **Résolution du Conseil** | Signing Authority | | **Bail commercial** | Address | | **Quittance (CIE / SODECI) (≤90 jours)** | Address | | **Relevé bancaire (≤90 jours)** | Address | | **Sector-Specific License** | BCEAO, AMF-UMOA — Autorité des Marchés Financiers de l'UMOA | ### Collection notes * **Ownership Records:** Structure is Statuts + (Registre des Associés \[SARL] OR Registre des Actions \[SA]). Register variant depends on entity type. * **Address:** Lease (no time bound) OR utility bill OR bank statement accepted, with 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. A freshly dated Extrait RCCM from the Greffe du Tribunal de Commerce (via CEPICI) reflects current registry status and serves as the good-standing equivalent. Accept an Extrait RCCM 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. | Local role | Canonical API role | Description | | ----------------- | ---------------------- | --------------------------------------- | | Gérant | `LEGAL_REPRESENTATIVE` | Manages the SARL. Legal representative. | | Président | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Heads the SAS. | | Directeur Général | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Day-to-day management in an SA. | | Administrateur | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Member of the board in an SA. | ## Additional fields Country-specific fields you'll need to collect during onboarding, beyond the document uploads. | Field | Applies to | Reason | | ---------------- | ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `marital_status` | founder | OHADA Statuts require marital information for founders/shareholders. | ## Notes * Côte d'Ivoire's IDU replaced the legacy Compte Contribuable (CC). * OHADA member; UEMOA zone — uses BCEAO + AMF-UMOA (formerly CREPMF, renamed 2022).
