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

  • Legal Registration: Issued by Greffe du Tribunal de Commerce via CFE. Niger ratified OHADA Treaty 1995-06-05.
  • Constitutive Documents: Private document or notarized act (AUSCGIE). Marital status of partners/shareholders required (OHADA community-property regime).
  • Tax Registration: Issued by DGI; required within one month of business start.
  • Operating Permit: Annual business-activity tax-license; sector-neutral; issued by DGI / municipal authority.
  • Sector-Specific License: BCEAO agrément for banks and payment institutions; AMF-UMOA license for capital-market activities; CIMA for insurance.
  • Governance Records: RCCM extract lists current gérant/directeurs; statuts and AGM minutes confirm appointments.
  • Signing Authority: Board/AGM resolution or notarized power of attorney; gérant has statutory binding authority by default.
  • Address: Lease (no time bound) OR utility bill OR bank statement; utility bills and bank statements must be dated within 90 days. 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. Under the OHADA framework Niger applies, the registry does not issue a separate Certificate of Good Standing; a freshly dated Extrait RCCM (collected under business_registration) issued by the greffe du Tribunal de Commerce via the CFE / Maison de l’Entreprise reflects current active registration 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.

Additional fields

Country-specific fields you’ll need to collect during onboarding, beyond the document uploads.

Notes

  • Niger is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention (confirmed by HCCH status table as of 2026-05-06). All foreign public documents require full embassy legalisation chain.
  • Niger transposed the UMOA Loi uniforme relative à la LBC/FT/FP (adopted 2023-03-31) via Ordonnance 2024-56 du 19 décembre 2024, which replaced Loi 2016-33 of 2016-10-31. The BCEAO issued three implementing instructions (Inst. 001/002/003-03-2025, dated 2025-03-18) with full operational effect as of 2025. Cite Ordonnance 2024-56 — do not cite the superseded Loi 2016-33 or Directive 02/2015/CM/UEMOA.
  • The SARL minimum capital was abolished by Décret 2017-284 (modifying Décret 2014-503/PRN/MC/PSP/MJ); SARL capital is now freely set by associés. Do not rely on older sources citing 1,000,000 or 100,000 FCFA floors.
  • AMF-UMOA (formerly CREPMF) rebranded effective 2021-01-01; cite AMF-UMOA in current filings.
