Overview

​
Identifiers

Collect two identifiers from each business customer in Latvia and submit them as strings on the application body. Tax ID: “LV” + 11-digit registration number (e.g. LV40003000000). Non-VAT-registered entities use the plain 11-digit reģistrācijas numurs as tax reference. Registration number: “LV” + 11-digit registration number (e.g. LV40003000000). Non-VAT-registered entities use the plain 11-digit reģistrācijas numurs as tax reference.

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: UR extract is the live authoritative record; certificate alone may be stale.
  • Constitutive Documents: Statūti are the constitutive document for capital companies; filed with UR and publicly retrievable.
  • Tax Registration: Non-VAT entities: VID registration confirmation suffices. VAT number = “LV” + 11-digit reg. no.
  • Operating Permit: No single universal national business license; activity-specific permits issued by relevant municipal or national authority.
  • Sector-Specific License: Latvijas Banka absorbed FKTK effective 2023-01-01 and is now sole prudential + conduct supervisor.
  • Governance Records: Board members (valdes locekļi) are listed on the public UR extract; padomes locekļi (supervisory board) appear for AS.
  • Signing Authority: Prokūra is registered with UR and appears on the extract; broader PoA must be notarized.
  • 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: Latvia’s Uzņēmumu reģistrs issues timestamped UR izraksts extracts reflecting current active/inactive status in real time; no separate Certificate of Good Standing document is issued. A recently dated lv_current_ur_extract under business_registration satisfies this requirement.

​
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

  • The VAT number and the registration number are the same 11 digits — the VAT number is simply “LV” prepended. Do not treat them as separate identifiers; confirm VAT registration status separately via VID’s online registry.
  • Latvijas Banka absorbed the FKTK (Financial and Capital Market Commission) on 2023-01-01. Any reference to “FKTK” in documents pre-dating 2023 now maps to Latvijas Banka’s supervision department. Legacy FKTK license numbers remain valid.
  • AS must have a supervisory board (padome) by statute for all joint-stock companies; padome is optional for SIA. Padomes locekļi (supervisory-board members) and valdes locekļi (management-board members) both roll up to CONTROLLING_PERSON; capture each individually when both bodies exist.
  • Micro-SIA (share capital < EUR 2,800, min EUR 1) is a valid legal form but subject to profit distribution restrictions until capital reaches EUR 2,800; flag during onboarding if share capital appears below standard threshold.
