Overview

​
Identifiers

Collect two identifiers from each business customer in Georgia and submit them as strings on the application body. Tax ID: Same 9-digit code as taxpayer ID; appears on the Extract from the Entrepreneurs Register and on RS tax documents. Registration number: Same 9-digit code as taxpayer ID; appears on the Extract from the Entrepreneurs Register and on RS tax documents.

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. Not applicable in Georgia: Operating Permit. Skip these areas — no local artifact exists.

Collection notes

  • Legal Registration: Electronic PDF with QR code; verifiable on NAPR portal. Issued same-day.
  • Constitutive Documents: Filed with NAPR at registration; amendments must be re-registered.
  • Tax Registration: The 9-digit tax identification number is the same as the NAPR identification code. An RS portal printout or the NAPR extract serves as tax registration proof.
  • Sector-Specific License: Issued by National Bank of Georgia. Required for banks, insurance companies, payment service providers, securities firms, MFIs.
  • Governance Records: Director appointments and removals must be registered with NAPR; extract reflects current state.
  • Signing Authority: The director holds statutory representative authority; third-party agents require a notarized power of attorney.
  • Address: Lease (no time bound) OR utility bill OR bank statement dated within 90 days. Either document satisfies both registered-address and operating-address requirements.
  • Good Standing: No standalone good-standing certificate is issued; a recently dated copy of the listed document evidences current standing. NAPR issues the Extract from the Entrepreneurs Register as a real-time QR-verified PDF; no separate certificate of good standing exists; request a freshly issued extract under business_registration

​
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.

​
Notes

  • Same ID for registry and tax: The NAPR identification code and the Revenue Service taxpayer ID are identical 9-digit numbers. Collect once; no separate tax certificate document exists — an RS portal printout or the NAPR extract suffices for both businessEntityId and taxId.
  • No general operating license: Georgia deliberately abolished general municipal business permits under the Law on Licences and Permits (2005). Do not request an operating license for standard commercial activities — it does not exist. Only flag the Operating Permit field if the entity operates in one of the 86+50 specifically enumerated licensed/permitted activity categories.
  • Nominee shareholding in JSCs: The Law on Entrepreneurs permits nominee shareholding for JSCs, provided the nominee is an NBG-regulated/supervised entity. LLCs do not prohibit nominees either. Always conduct look-through to ultimate natural persons in JSC structures.
  • Pre-2022 entity re-registration: entities incorporated under the prior 1994 Law on Entrepreneurs were required to re-register under the 2021 Law by 1 April 2026. Verify the entity’s charter and registration extract reflect the 2021 Law regime; old-law charters indicate a possible compliance gap.
