The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below. | Evidence area | Documents needed | | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Legal Registration | Commercial Registration Certificate | | Constitutive Documents | Memorandum & Articles of Association | | Tax Registration | Tax Registration Certificate | | Operating Permit | Vocational License | | Ownership Records | CCD Company Extract | | Governance Records | *Any one of:* CCD Extract — Management Committee · Board of Directors List | | Signing Authority | Board Resolution or Notarized Power of Attorney | | Address | *Any one of:* عقد إيجار · فاتورة خدمات · كشف حساب بنكي | | Good Standing | Commercial Registration Certificate | ## 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 | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | | **Commercial Registration Certificate (CCD)** | Legal Registration, Good Standing | | **Memorandum & Articles of Association (عقد التأسيس والنظام الأساسي)** | Constitutive Documents | | **Tax Registration Certificate (ISTD TIN Certificate)** | Tax Registration | | **Vocational License (رخصة مهنية)** | Operating Permit | | **CCD Company Extract** | Ownership Records | | **CCD Extract — Management Committee** | Governance Records | | **Board of Directors List** | Governance Records | | **Board Resolution or Notarized Power of Attorney** | Signing Authority | | **عقد إيجار** | Address | | **فاتورة خدمات (خلال 90 يومًا)** | Address | | **كشف حساب بنكي (خلال 90 يومًا)** | Address | | **Sector-Specific License** | CBJ License, JSC License, Insurance License | ### Collection notes * **Legal Registration:** Issued by CCD at incorporation; renewed annually; primary proof of legal existence. * **Constitutive Documents:** Submitted to and certified by CCD; standard-form for LLCs; filed as a bundle (Memorandum + Articles). * **Tax Registration:** Issued by ISTD; separate GST certificate required if annual turnover exceeds JOD 75,000 (standard goods), JOD 30,000 (services), or JOD 10,000 (SST goods). Collect both where applicable. * **Operating Permit:** Issued by Greater Amman Municipality (or relevant municipality). Chamber of Commerce/Industry membership is also required. * **Sector-Specific License:** CBJ for banks, payment institutions, exchange companies; JSC for brokers, fund managers, listed companies; CBJ Insurance Supervision for insurers. * **Ownership Records:** CCD extract lists registered shareholders and current share allocation. * **Governance Records:** LLC: manager or management committee. PSC/Pvt SC: elected board of directors. Both reflected in CCD extract. * **Signing Authority:** Board resolution for corporate signatories; notarized POA for individual representatives; must be authenticated by a Jordanian notary if executed abroad (Jordan is not a Hague Apostille party — full consular legalization chain required). * **Address:** Lease (no time bound) OR utility bill OR bank statement, with utility/bank dated within 90 days. Accepted for both registered-address and operating-address verification. * **Good Standing:** The Companies Control Department does not surface a distinct certificate of good standing in routine public guidance; active status is evidenced by the annually-renewed Commercial Registration Certificate (شهادة التسجيل التجاري) plus the CCD e-Services company-information record reflecting current registration. Request a renewal certificate or CCD search printout dated within 30 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. | Local role | Canonical API role | Description | | ----------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Manager / مدير (LLC) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Day-to-day executive authority in an LLC; binds the company toward third parties (Art. 60, Companies Law 22/1997). | | Management Committee Member (LLC) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Collective management body of an LLC where no sole manager is appointed. | | Board Member / عضو مجلس إدارة (PSC/Pvt SC) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Elected member of the board of directors in a shareholding company. | | Board Chairman / رئيس مجلس الإدارة (PSC/Pvt SC) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Chair of the board; governance role. | | General Manager / مدير عام (PSC/Pvt SC) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Executive officer appointed by the board for day-to-day operations. | | Authorized Signatory / مفوض بالتوقيع | `LEGAL_REPRESENTATIVE` | Person holding a board resolution or POA to legally bind the company. | ## Notes * Jordan is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention. Documents executed abroad must go through the full consular legalization chain (foreign notary → foreign MFA → Jordanian embassy/consulate). This materially slows onboarding of foreign-incorporated entities. * AML statute is Law No. 20 of 2021 (Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing), in force since 16 September 2021. Citations to the older Law No. 46/2007 are stale. * CCD e-services portal is Arabic-only for company searches; official document requests require in-person or Arabic-language online application. Integrators relying on automated registry lookups should account for translation requirements. * Capital payment rule (April 2024): 50% of declared capital must be paid at incorporation; the balance is due within 60 days. This affects LLC formation timelines and documentary evidence of paid-up capital collected at onboarding.
