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
- Address: Lease (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: MoTRI does not issue a separate certificate of good standing; active status is evidenced by an annually-renewed Trade License (Business License) coupled with the Commercial Registration Certificate. Failure to renew within the fiscal-year window cancels the license. Request renewal evidence dated within the current fiscal year.
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.
