## Identifiers

Collect two identifiers from each business customer in Morocco and submit them as strings on the application body.

| API field                       | Local name                                   | Issuer                                                              |

| `businessInfo.taxId`            | **IF (Identifiant Fiscal)**                  | Direction Générale des Impôts (DGI)                                 |
| `businessInfo.businessEntityId` | **ICE (Identifiant Commun de l'Entreprise)** | OMPIC — Office Marocain de la Propriété Industrielle et Commerciale |

*Tax ID:* Tax-specific identifier issued by DGI. Distinct from ICE which is an enterprise-wide identifier.

*Registration number:* Enterprise-wide identifier issued by OMPIC/DGI; used across registration, tax, and customs systems.

## 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.

| Evidence area          | Documents needed                                                      |

| Constitutive Documents | Statuts                                                               |

## 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

* **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.
