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
- Ownership Records: The Anexo APS filing was superseded by REBEFICS as the SRI’s corporate-composition reporting mechanism.
- Address: 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.
- Good Standing: Electronic certificate issued by the SCVS (Superintendencia de Compañías, Valores y Seguros) confirming the company is current on its statutory obligations. Downloadable from supercias.gob.ec; issued with current date. Banks typically require issuance within 30 days.
Person roles
When you submit a person on the application body, set theirrole to one of Conduit’s canonical BusinessPersonRole values. Use this table to map a local corporate-governance title onto the right canonical role.
