The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below. | Evidence area | Documents needed | | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Legal Registration | Registro Mercantil | | Constitutive Documents | *All required:* Acta de Incorporación + Estatutos | | Tax Registration | Certificación RNC | | Operating Permit | Registro Mercantil | | Ownership Records | *All required:* Acta de Incorporación + Nómina de Accionistas | | Governance Records | *Required:* (Any one of: Acta de Asamblea · Acta Notarial de Nombramiento) + Acta de Incorporación | | Signing Authority | Acta de Asamblea | | Address | *Any one of:* Contrato de Arrendamiento · Factura de Servicio · Estado de Cuenta Bancario | | Good Standing | Certificación de Vigencia del Registro Mercantil | ## 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 | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Registro Mercantil (Cámara de Comercio)** | Legal Registration, Operating Permit | | **Acta de Incorporación** | Constitutive Documents, Ownership Records, Governance Records | | **Estatutos** | Constitutive Documents | | **Certificación RNC (DGII)** | Tax Registration | | **Nómina de Accionistas** | Ownership Records | | **Acta de Asamblea (appointment of directors)** | Governance Records, Signing Authority | | **Acta Notarial de Nombramiento (directors)** | Governance Records | | **Contrato de Arrendamiento** | Address | | **Factura de Servicio (≤90 días)** | Address | | **Estado de Cuenta Bancario (≤90 días)** | Address | | **Certificación de Vigencia del Registro Mercantil (Cámara de Comercio)** | Good Standing | | **Sector-Specific License** | SB, SIMV, Sup. de Pensiones | ### Collection notes * **Governance Records:** The Acta de Incorporación evidences the original directors at formation and is always required. For subsequent board changes, collect either the Acta de Asamblea or the Acta Notarial de Nombramiento — whichever evidences the current board composition. * **Address:** Accepted: lease agreement (no time bound) OR utility bill OR bank statement (utility/bank dated within 90 days). Either document satisfies both registered-address and operating-address verification. * **Good Standing:** Issued by the Cámara de Comercio y Producción of the entity's jurisdiction. The Registro Mercantil itself requires periodic renewal (every two years for companies); the Certificación de Vigencia confirms the renewal is current and the entity is in good registry standing. Banks typically require issuance within 60 days. ## Person roles When you submit a person on the application body, set their `role` to one of Conduit's canonical `BusinessPersonRole` values.
