The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below. | Evidence area | Documents needed | | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Legal Registration | Inscripción Registro Público de Comercio | | Constitutive Documents | *All required:* Escritura Pública + Estatutos | | Tax Registration | Cédula Tributaria RUC | | Operating Permit | Patente Comercial Municipal | | Ownership Records | *All required:* Escritura Pública + Libro de Registro de Acciones | | Governance Records | *All required:* Escritura Pública + Acta de Asamblea | | Signing Authority | *Any one of:* Acta de Asamblea · Acta de Directorio | | Address | *Any one of:* Contrato de Arrendamiento · Factura de Servicio Público · Estado de Cuenta Bancario | ## 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 | | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Inscripción Registro Público de Comercio** | Legal Registration | | **Escritura Pública** | Constitutive Documents, Ownership Records, Governance Records | | **Estatutos** | Constitutive Documents | | **Cédula Tributaria RUC (DNIT)** | Tax Registration | | **Patente Comercial Municipal** | Operating Permit | | **Libro de Registro de Acciones** | Ownership Records | | **Acta de Asamblea** | Governance Records, Signing Authority | | **Acta de Directorio (board resolution)** | Signing Authority | | **Contrato de Arrendamiento** | Address | | **Factura de Servicio Público (≤90 días)** | Address | | **Estado de Cuenta Bancario (≤90 días)** | Address | | **Sector-Specific License** | BCP, INCOOP, SEPRELAD, CNV — Comisión Nacional de Valores | **Not applicable in Paraguay:** Good Standing. Skip these areas — no local artifact exists. ### Collection notes * **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. ## 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 | | --------------------- | ---------------------- | --------------------- | | Director / Presidente | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Board member / chair. | | Gerente | `LEGAL_REPRESENTATIVE` | Manager. | | Representante Legal | `LEGAL_REPRESENTATIVE` | Legal representative. |
