Overview

​
Identifiers

Collect two identifiers from each business customer in Oman and submit them as strings on the application body. Tax ID: Standard TIN is 9 numeric digits; VAT/excise TIN is 12 alphanumeric characters. Same number used for income tax and VAT. Registration number: Unique numeric identifier on the CR Certificate; found on company letterhead and the Invest Easy portal extract.

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 MoCIIP via Invest Easy; valid 5 years; CR Number is the businessEntityId.
  • Constitutive Documents: Constitutive contract; must be in Arabic or with certified Arabic translation; filed with and stamped by MoCIIP.
  • Tax Registration: Issued by Oman Tax Authority (tms.taxoman.gov.om); covers income tax TIN (9-digit) and VAT TIN (12-char) — may appear on same certificate or separate VAT certificate.
  • Operating Permit: Issued by Muscat Municipality or relevant regional municipality; required alongside CR; renewed annually.
  • Sector-Specific License: CBO for banks/finance; CMA for securities firms, insurance, investment funds; OPAZ for free-zone entities.
  • Governance Records: MoCIIP CR extract lists all managers (LLC) or board members (SAOC/SAOG); also available via Invest Easy portal.
  • Signing Authority: Board resolution authorizing a signatory; or notarized power of attorney.
  • 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: Oman’s MoCIIP does not issue a separate Certificate of Good Standing; the Commercial Registration Certificate carries explicit issue and expiry dates (renewed via Invest Easy, typically every five years), so a non-expired CR Certificate alongside paid annual fees is itself the live evidence of active registration status.

​
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

  • Apostille is valid: Oman acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention as the 101st Contracting State (accession 2011-05-12, EIF 2012-01-30); foreign documents can be apostilled rather than requiring embassy legalisation.
  • New Banking Law RD 2/2025: replaced RD 114/2000 effective 2025-01-01; any CBO regulatory license issued under the old law may require re-validation; check issue date against 2025-01-01 commencement.
  • Free-zone entities governed by OPAZ, not MoCIIP: companies in Salalah, Sohar, Duqm, or Al Mazunah are registered under RD 38/2025 (eff. 2025-04-13) and hold an OPAZ license, not a standard MoCIIP CR — collect OPAZ registration certificate as Legal Registration artifact.
