The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below. | Evidence area | Documents needed | | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Legal Registration | *Any one of:* Partida Registral SUNARP · Ficha Registral SUNARP | | Constitutive Documents | *All required:* Escritura Pública + Estatutos | | Tax Registration | Ficha RUC | | Operating Permit | Licencia de Funcionamiento Municipal | | Ownership Records | *All required:* Escritura Pública + Matrícula de Acciones | | Governance Records | Vigencia de Poder | | Signing Authority | Vigencia de Poder | | Address | *Any one of:* Contrato de Arrendamiento · Recibo de Servicios · Estado de Cuenta Bancario | | Good Standing | *Any one of:* Partida Registral SUNARP · Ficha Registral SUNARP | ## 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 | | ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Partida Registral SUNARP** | Legal Registration, Good Standing | | **Ficha Registral SUNARP** | Legal Registration, Good Standing | | **Escritura Pública** | Constitutive Documents, Ownership Records | | **Estatutos** | Constitutive Documents | | **Ficha RUC (SUNAT)** | Tax Registration | | **Licencia de Funcionamiento Municipal** | Operating Permit | | **Matrícula de Acciones** | Ownership Records | | **Vigencia de Poder** | Governance Records, Signing Authority | | **Contrato de Arrendamiento** | Address | | **Recibo de Servicios (≤90 días)** | Address | | **Estado de Cuenta Bancario (≤90 días)** | Address | | **Sector-Specific License** | SBS, SMV, MINSA, BCRP — Banco Central de Reserva del Perú (payment system operators) | ### Collection notes * **Address:** Lease (no time bound) OR utility bill OR bank statement dated within 90 days. Same evidence satisfies both registered-address and operating-address checks. * **Good Standing:** Peru does not issue a standalone certificate of good standing; a dated Copia Literal de Partida Registral (SUNARP certified extract) serves as good-standing evidence. ## 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 | | ------------------------- | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | | Gerente General | `LEGAL_REPRESENTATIVE` | Legal representative. Mandatory role. | | Director | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Board member. Required in S.A., optional in S.A.C. | | Presidente del Directorio | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Board chair. | ## Notes * SUNAT tracks tax domicile condition (condición de domicilio fiscal): Habido (reachable) vs No Habido (unreachable); No Habido is a red flag.
