The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below. | Evidence area | Documents needed | | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Legal Registration | Extras din Registrul de Stat | | Constitutive Documents | *Any one of:* Statut · Act de Constituire | | Tax Registration | Certificat de înregistrare TVA | | Operating Permit | Autorizație de funcționare | | Ownership Records | *Any one of:* Extras din Registrul de Stat · Registrul asociatilor · Registrul actionarilor | | Governance Records | Extras din Registrul de Stat | | Signing Authority | *Any one of:* Decizie de incorporare · Procură notarială | | Address | *Any one of:* Contract de locațiune · Factură de utilități · Extras bancar | | Good Standing | Extras din Registrul de Stat | ## 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 | | --------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Extras din Registrul de Stat (State Register extract)** | Legal Registration, Ownership Records, Governance Records, Good Standing | | **Statut** | Constitutive Documents | | **Act de Constituire** | Constitutive Documents | | **Certificat de înregistrare TVA** | Tax Registration | | **Autorizație de funcționare** | Operating Permit | | **Registrul asociaților (SRL — members' register)** | Ownership Records | | **Registrul acționarilor (SA — share register)** | Ownership Records | | **Decizie de incorporare** | Signing Authority | | **Procură notarială** | Signing Authority | | **Contract de locațiune** | Address | | **Factură de utilități (≤90 zile)** | Address | | **Extras bancar (≤90 zile)** | Address | | **Sector-Specific License** | Licență BNM, Autorizație CNPF, BNM — Banca Națională a Moldovei (banking, payments, insurance eff. 2023-07-01, non-bank lending), CNPF — Comisia Națională a Pieței Financiare (capital markets, securities, investment funds) | ### Collection notes * **Legal Registration:** Issued by ASP; contains IDNO, registration date, legal status, administrator, and associates. Available as certified paper or e-extract (equal legal value). * **Constitutive Documents:** Single founding act for SRL and SA. Notarized. Filed with ASP at registration; copy retrievable via ASP. * **Tax Registration:** Issued by SFS upon VAT registration. IDNO itself is the general tax ID; a separate VAT certificate exists only for VAT-registered entities. For non-VAT entities, the Extras din Registrul de Stat evidences tax identity via IDNO. * **Operating Permit:** Municipal-level commercial operating permit; issued by primărie (city hall/local council). Required for retail and service premises. * **Sector-Specific License:** BNM licenses banks, payment institutions, e-money institutions, insurers, and non-bank lenders. CNPF licenses investment firms and capital market participants. * **Ownership Records:** Extras contains associate names and participation shares for SRL. SA: separate shareholder register (registrul acționarilor) maintained by a licensed registrar or the company. * **Governance Records:** Administrator name and appointment details included in the Extras. SA supervisory board (Consiliu) members registered separately. * **Signing Authority:** Founding decision names initial administrator. Subsequent signatories: notarized power of attorney (procură). Board resolution (hotărâre) for ongoing matters. * **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. Moldova's Public Services Agency (ASP) does not issue a separate Certificate of Good Standing; a freshly dated Extras din Registrul de Stat (collected under business\_registration) carries the legal status, IDNO, administrator and shareholders as of the issue date 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. | Local role | Canonical API role | Description | | ------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Administrator (SRL / II) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Executive manager of SRL or sole-proprietor enterprise; day-to-day authority. | | Administrator General (SA) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Chief executive of SA; operational authority under board oversight. | | Membru al Consiliului Societății (SA) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Member of SA supervisory/governance board; governance, not operational. | | Reprezentant legal / Împuternicit | `LEGAL_REPRESENTATIVE` | Person authorized to bind the company via notarized power of attorney. | ## Notes * The IDNO serves as both the registration number and general tax ID; a separate VAT certificate (cod TVA, 7 digits) exists only for VAT-registered entities — do not conflate the two identifiers. * Insurance supervision transferred from CNPF to BNM on 2023-07-01; regulated insurance entities must be verified on BNM's registry, not CNPF's. * SA shareholder registers must be maintained by a licensed registrar (registrator autorizat) for companies with more than 50 shareholders; for KYB, request both the Extras and a certified extract from the registrar.
