Overview

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. Not applicable in Nepal: Good Standing. Skip these areas — no local artifact exists.

Collection notes

  • Legal Registration: Issued by OCR via CAMIS system (camis.ocr.gov.np); digitally signed with QR code; bilingual (Nepali/English).
  • Constitutive Documents: Filed as paired documents at incorporation; both required; OCR retains originals.
  • Tax Registration: Issued by IRD (ird.gov.np); 9-digit number; downloadable signed PDF from taxpayerportal.ird.gov.np.
  • Operating Permit: Issued by local municipality/ward office; required after OCR registration; must be renewed annually.
  • Sector-Specific License: NRB for banks/FIs (BAFIA 2073); NIA for insurers (Insurance Act 2079); SEBON for securities intermediaries. Only required for regulated-sector entities.
  • Ownership Records: Filed as part of annual return to the Office of the Company Registrar (OCR); includes all current shareholders, number of shares held, and date of most recent transfer.
  • Governance Records: Filed as part of annual s.78 report to OCR; includes names, addresses, and appointment dates of all directors.
  • Signing Authority: POA must be notarized by a licensed Nepali notary; no apostille available — MoFA attestation + destination-embassy attestation required for cross-border use.
  • 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.

​
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

  • Apostille not available. Nepal is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention (HCCH status table, verified 2026-05-06). Documents for cross-border use require MoFA attestation followed by destination-country embassy attestation in Kathmandu.
  • Dual-calendar system. Nepal uses Bikram Sambat (BS) calendar; fiscal year ends mid-July. All OCR and IRD filings use BS dates (2082 BS = 2025/26 AD). Certificates show BS dates — convert when recording effective dates in Conduit systems.
