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
Modèle J (RCCM extract)	Legal Registration, Governance Records, Good Standing
Statuts	Constitutive Documents, Ownership Records, Governance Records
ICE Certificate	Tax Registration
Identifiant Fiscal (IF)	Tax Registration
Patente	Operating Permit
Taxe Professionnelle	Operating Permit
Registre des Associés (NOT in Modèle J)	Ownership Records
PV de nomination	Governance Records
PV de Conseil d’Administration	Signing Authority
Décision du Gérant	Signing Authority
Contrat de bail	Address
Facture de services (≤90 jours)	Address
Relevé bancaire (≤90 jours)	Address
Sector-Specific License	BAM, AMMC, ACAPS

Collection notes

Ownership Records: Shareholder information is NOT in Modèle J — Statuts are the only document confirming ownership.
Governance Records: Structure is Modèle J + (Statuts OR PV de nomination). Modèle J is always required as the authoritative registry extract; either the Statuts (for founding directors) or a PV de nomination (for subsequently appointed directors) is accepted as the appointment instrument.
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: Morocco uses the Modèle J (dated OMPIC registry extract) as the live-status document showing Active/Inactive/Struck Off status; no separate certificate of good standing is issued. A recently dated Modèle J under business_registration subsumes 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
Gérant	`LEGAL_REPRESENTATIVE`	Manages the SARL. Named in Statuts and Modèle J.
Administrateur	`CONTROLLING_PERSON`	Board member in SA.
Président-Directeur Général (PDG)	`CONTROLLING_PERSON`	Board chair + CEO in SA.

Notes

Company names are required in both Arabic and French.
Modèle J does not disclose shareholders — the Statuts are the only document confirming ownership.
