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

  • Legal Registration: SK confirms legal entity status; NIB confirms business licensing. Collect both.
  • Constitutive Documents: Single notarized deed; contains articles. Subsequent amendments are Akta Perubahan Anggaran Dasar; collect latest version.
  • Tax Registration: Issued by DJP. If VAT-registered, also collect SPPKP (Surat Pengukuhan Pengusaha Kena Pajak).
  • Operating Permit: The NIB is the general operating authorization for low- and medium-risk activities. High-risk activities require additional OSS-RBA sectoral permits (Izin / Persetujuan).
  • Sector-Specific License: OJK took over crypto/VASP regulation from BAPPEBTI on 2025-01-10 under OJK Reg. No. 27/2024 (POJK 27/2024); amended by POJK 23/2025 (eff. Dec 2025).
  • Ownership Records: Daftar Pemegang Saham is a company-maintained register of shareholders and their shareholdings. Collect the company’s own copy; it is not a publicly accessible registry.
  • Governance Records: Amendments to board composition filed as Akta Perubahan; collect latest notarized deed and AHU confirmation.
  • Signing Authority: Signing authority must be notarized in Indonesia; apostille is available from Kemenkumham for use in Hague Convention member states.
  • Address: 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.

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

  • The NIB is the primary operating authorization post-2020 (replaces SIUP/TDP/SKU); however, high-risk KBLI-coded activities still require sectoral permits on top of the NIB. Always check the KBLI code against the OSS-RBA risk classification. KBLI 2025 alignment deadline is 2026-06-18 — entities in transition may carry mis-matched codes.
  • Indonesia uses a two-tier board: Direksi (management) and Dewan Komisaris (supervisory). They are structurally separate; Komisaris cannot execute contracts. Both bodies roll up to CONTROLLING_PERSON, but Direksi members are the LEGAL_REPRESENTATIVE signers — capture them as such and record Komisaris members separately for completeness.
  • Indonesia acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention effective 2022-06-04. Apostille is issued by Kemenkumham. Prior to accession, Indonesian documents required full consular legalisation; post-accession apostille suffices for contracting states.
