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
- Address: Lease has no time bound; utility bill and bank statement must be dated within 90 days. The same document satisfies both registered-address and operating-address checks.
- Good Standing: Issued by the Sección de Certificaciones of the Registro Público de Panamá; confirms the company is Vigente (active), has paid its Tasa Única annual franchise tax and certifies the current Board of Directors. Available digitally with QR verification via the Registro Público e-services platform. Validity 30 calendar days from issue for banking and commercial use; request a certificate dated within 30 days of submission.
Person roles
When you submit a person on the application body, set theirrole to one of Conduit’s canonical BusinessPersonRole values. Use this table to map a local corporate-governance title onto the right canonical role.
