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

  • Governance Records: Escritura Pública is always required. Acta Notarial and Certificación de Nombramiento are alternatives for evidencing current directorship — notarized assembly minutes vs. a standalone appointment certificate.
  • Address: Conduit universal policy: 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: Online certification issued by the Registro Mercantil General de la República via the eCerti portal (servicios.registromercantil.gob.gt/eCerti). Confirms current legal existence, capital, and legal representation. The Patente de Comercio is the registration title (issued once); the Certificación is the live good-standing instrument. Request issuance within 30 days for banking; cross-border use commonly 60 days.

​
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.
