Legal structures
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: GAFI for general companies; FRA for non-bank financial institutions; CBE for banks.
- Address: Lease (no time bound) OR utility bill OR bank statement, with utility/bank dated within 90 days. Accepted for both registered-address and operating-address verification.
- Good Standing: Egypt’s Commercial Registry (GAFI) does not issue a separate certificate of good standing; commercial registration is valid for five years and active status is evidenced by a recently-dated Mostakhrag (Commercial Registry Extract) reflecting the current registration period. Request an extract dated within 30 days for banking purposes.
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.
Notes
- Online registry access requires an Egyptian national ID; foreign entities may not be able to self-verify.
