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
- Ownership Records: A estrutura exige a Escritura Pública OU os Estatutos Sociais para prova de titularidade. Qualquer um dos dois documentos constitutivos satisfaz o requisito.
- Governance Records: Structure is (Escritura OR Estatutos) + Acta de Nomeação. Either constitutive document is accepted; the Acta de Nomeação is required when directors changed post-incorporation. For initial directors named in the constitutive document, the Acta may be omitted.
- 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. Mozambique’s Conservatória do Registo das Entidades Legais (CREL) does not issue a separate Certificate of Good Standing; a Certidão do Registo Comercial dated ≤30 days (collected under business_registration) reflects current legal status, share capital and directors and serves the same compliance function.
Person roles
When you submit a person on the application body, set theirrole to one of Conduit’s canonical BusinessPersonRole values. Use this table to map a local corporate-governance title onto the right canonical role.
