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

  • Operating Permit: Issued by the state Board of Internal Revenue (Business Premises Registration / Renewal Levy) and the Local Government Area where the entity operates. Renewable annually. Required for all commercial entities; not sector-specific.
  • Sector-Specific License: SCUML Certificate is issued by the Special Control Unit Against Money Laundering (under EFCC) and is required only for Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (real estate, dealers in precious metals, accountants, lawyers, NGOs, etc.) — not for general commerce. Collect only when your customer operates in a DNFBP sector.
  • Address: 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: Issued by the Corporate Affairs Commission on request, confirming the company is registered, up to date with annual returns and not in liquidation. Available via the iCRP e-certificate portal once annual filings are current. Request a certificate dated within 30–90 days of submission; banks typically require ≤30 days.

​
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.
