CSBF · BFM/Banky Foiben'i Madagasikara · SAMIFIN · ARTEC · DGI

​
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: Issued by greffier of Tribunal de Première Instance; EDBM guichet unique facilitates.
  • Constitutive Documents: Single constitutive document; must be registered at the RCS and DGI.
  • Tax Registration: NIF issued by DGI; also recorded on the EDBM-issued STAT card from INSTAT.
  • Operating Permit: Municipal/commune-level permit; issued by Fokontany or mairie for the place of exercise.
  • Sector-Specific License: CSBF for banks/MFIs/insurance (Loi 2020-005); ARTEC for telecom; SAMIFIN oversight for reporting entities.
  • Ownership Records: Associés (members) are listed in the Statuts; updates require a notarial amendment filed with the RCS.
  • Governance Records: RCS extract lists current gérants (SARL) or administrateurs/DG (SA); updated on each modification filing.
  • Signing Authority: Board/shareholder resolution or notarized power of attorney naming authorized signatories.
  • 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. Under the OHADA framework Madagascar applies, the registry does not issue a separate Certificate of Good Standing; a freshly dated Extrait RCS (collected under business_registration) issued by the greffier du Tribunal de Première Instance via the EDBM guichet unique reflects current active registration and serves the same compliance 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.

Notes

  • Madagascar is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention. Documents require full embassy legalization chain (authentication + consular legalization), not a single apostille.
  • Madagascar is not an OHADA member state. Loi 2003-036 (as amended by Loi 2014-010) is the standalone companies statute; do not apply OHADA AUDCG/AUSC rules.
  • CSBF (within BFM) supervises both banking and insurance under Loi 2020-005 sur les assurances — there is no separate standalone insurance regulator.
  • The EDBM guichet unique combines RCS, NIF (DGI), and INSTAT statistical card issuance in ~3 business days; the INSTAT “numéro STAT” is a separate identifier issued alongside the NIF.
