The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below. | Evidence area | Documents needed | | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | | Legal Registration | Commercial Registration Certificate | | Constitutive Documents | Memorandum & Articles of Association | | Tax Registration | Tax Registration Certificate | | Operating Permit | Municipality (Baladiya) License | | Ownership Records | CR Shareholders Extract | | Governance Records | *Any one of:* CR Extract — Managers · Register of Directors | | Signing Authority | *Any one of:* Board Resolution · Notarized Power of Attorney | | Address | *Any one of:* Tenancy Contract · MEW / Diam Bill · Bank Statement | | Good Standing | Commercial Registration Certificate | ## 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. | Document | Proves | | -------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | **Commercial Registration Certificate (CR Certificate)** | Legal Registration, Good Standing | | **Memorandum & Articles of Association (MOA/AOA)** | Constitutive Documents | | **Tax Registration Certificate** | Tax Registration | | **Municipality (Baladiya) License** | Operating Permit | | **CR Shareholders Extract** | Ownership Records | | **CR Extract — Managers** | Governance Records | | **Register of Directors** | Governance Records | | **Board Resolution** | Signing Authority | | **Notarized Power of Attorney** | Signing Authority | | **Tenancy Contract** | Address | | **MEW / Diam Bill (خلال 90 يومًا)** | Address | | **Bank Statement (خلال 90 يومًا)** | Address | | **Sector-Specific License** | CBO Sector License, CMA License, OPAZ License | ### 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. | Local role | Canonical API role | Description | | ----------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Executive Manager (Mudeer — مدير) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Day-to-day manager of an LLC; appointed in MOA or separately; need not be a shareholder. | | Board Member (Udw Majlis al-Idara — عضو مجلس الإدارة) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Member of the board of directors of a SAOC or SAOG. | | Managing Director (Al-Mudeer al-Tanfidhi — المدير التنفيذي) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Executive director of a SAOC/SAOG with operational authority. | | Authorized Signatory | `LEGAL_REPRESENTATIVE` | Person authorized to bind the company per MD 245/2025 Art. 13; must be shareholder/partner, manager, or financial or administrative employee. | | Branch Manager (Mudeer al-Far' — مدير الفرع) | `LEGAL_REPRESENTATIVE` | Authorized representative of a foreign branch; legally binds the parent company in Oman. | ## Additional fields Country-specific fields you'll need to collect during onboarding, beyond the document uploads. | Field | Applies to | Reason | | -------------------------- | ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `Omanisation quota status` | founder | FCIL (RD 50/2019) and labor law require disclosure of Omanisation percentage by sector for licensed operations. | ## 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.
