## 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:** Issued by Ministry of Justice; carries registration number and legal form.
* **Constitutive Documents:** Charter required for all entities; founders agreement required for multi-member OsOO and AK. Single-member OsOO may use charter alone.
* **Tax Registration:** 14-digit code; auto-issued alongside state registration via one-stop-shop; verify at sti.gov.kg.
* **Operating Permit:** Required for restricted activity categories; issued by national or local authority depending on activity type. Not required for all entities.
* **Sector-Specific License:** NBKR licenses banks, payment organizations, forex dealers; FSA/Gosfinnadzor licenses insurance companies, securities market participants.
* **Governance Records:** Director name and appointment recorded in Ministry of Justice register; extract shows current incumbent.
* **Signing Authority:** Director of record signs on behalf of entity without POA; third-party representatives require notarized POA per Law "On Notariat."
* **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:** No standalone good-standing certificate is issued; a recently dated copy of the listed document evidences current standing. Kyrgyzstan's Ministry of Justice does not issue a separate Certificate of Good Standing; a recently dated extract (выписка / справка) from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, available via the Tunduk e-services portal or record.minjust.gov.kg, reflects current active status and serves this function.

## 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                                                                                          |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Директор / Руководитель (Director/Head)                                | `CONTROLLING_PERSON`   | Executive head of entity; day-to-day management authority; signatory of record without separate POA. |
| Председатель Совета директоров (Board Chair)                           | `CONTROLLING_PERSON`   | Chair of the board of directors in an AK; governance role.                                           |
| Член Совета директоров (Board Member)                                  | `CONTROLLING_PERSON`   | Non-executive board member of an AK.                                                                 |
| Представитель по доверенности (Authorized Representative / POA Holder) | `LEGAL_REPRESENTATIVE` | Third party empowered to bind the company via notarized power of attorney.                           |

## Notes

* Registry portal is Kyrgyz/Russian only. The Ministry of Justice online portal (online.minjust.gov.kg) has no English interface; extracts are issued in Kyrgyz or Russian. Budget for certified translation of all registry documents.
* Apostille Convention — two objections remain. Kyrgyzstan acceded 15 November 2010 (entry into force 31 July 2011). Germany withdrew its objection 7 October 2024; Belgium withdrew 11 June 2025. Austria and Greece objections remain outstanding as of 2026-05-06; verify Convention applicability for documents destined for these jurisdictions via the HCCH status table.
* One-stop-shop registration auto-creates INN. State registration at the Ministry of Justice simultaneously registers the entity with the Tax Service; a separate INN application is not needed for newly incorporated entities. Foreign legal entities must register separately via sti.gov.kg.
