## 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.

| Document                                                                | Proves                                                                   |

### 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.

| Local role                                                     | Canonical API role     | Description                                                                                           |
| -------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Director (დირექტორი) — LLC/JSC                                 | `CONTROLLING_PERSON`   | Statutory executive with management and representative authority; appointed by partners/shareholders. |
| Member of Supervisory Board (სამეთვალყურეო საბჭოს წევრი) — JSC | `CONTROLLING_PERSON`   | Governance-only role; appoints/dismisses directors; required for JSCs above certain thresholds.       |
| Authorized Representative (წარმომადგენელი / POA holder)        | `LEGAL_REPRESENTATIVE` | Granted representative authority by board resolution or notarized POA; no management authority.       |

## 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.
