Overview

​
Identifiers

Collect two identifiers from each business customer in Italy and submit them as strings on the application body. Tax ID: 11-digit numeric for entities; Partita IVA equals CF for most companies; EU VAT = “IT” + 11-digit Partita IVA. Registration number: Provincial code + progressive number (e.g., MI-1234567); appears on the Visura Camerale.

​
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

  • Legal Registration: Extract from Registro delle Imprese; available at registroimprese.it; confirm “ordinaria” (full) version, not certificato di iscrizione only.
  • Constitutive Documents: Notarized deed + attached bylaws; both required; art. 2463 c.c. (S.r.l.) / art. 2328 c.c. (S.p.A.).
  • Tax Registration: Issued by Agenzia delle Entrate; CF = Partita IVA for most entities; EU VAT certificate also acceptable.
  • Operating Permit: Filed with local municipality under Law 241/1990 art. 19; some sectors require prior municipal autorizzazione instead of SCIA.
  • Sector-Specific License: Banca d’Italia (banking, payment institutions), CONSOB (investment firms), IVASS (insurance), AGCOM (telecom).
  • Ownership Records: Collect the Libro Soci from S.r.l. entities and the Visura Camerale Ordinaria for all entity types. The Visura lists current quotaholders (S.r.l.) and directors; for S.p.A. with dematerialized shares the shareholder register is held by the intermediary bank.
  • Governance Records: Directors, sole administrators, CdA members listed with appointment dates; Sindaci listed separately.
  • Signing Authority: Board/shareholders resolution or notarized power of attorney; must identify signatory and scope of authority.
  • 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: Issued by the provincial Camera di Commercio from the Registro delle Imprese via registroimprese.it; certifies the company is regularly registered and not subject to insolvency procedures (bankruptcy, liquidation, preventive arrangement, controlled administration). Statutory validity 6 months from issuance, but banks typically require issuance within 30-90 days. Distinct from the Visura Camerale which is a data extract.

​
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.

​
Additional fields

Country-specific fields you’ll need to collect during onboarding, beyond the document uploads.

Notes

  • CF equals Partita IVA for most companies, but check: Ditte Individuali use the owner’s personal 16-character alphanumeric CF, not an 11-digit entity CF — these are structurally different and must be handled separately.
  • Visura Camerale versioning: Request the “Visura Ordinaria” (full extract), not the “Visura di Evasione” or certificate of inscription only — the latter omits directors and shareholders detail needed for KYB.
  • S.r.l.s. capital floor: Capitalized at €1 minimum; confirm paid-in capital is not a disqualifying factor for your product’s minimum-capital risk criteria.
