The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below. | Evidence area | Documents needed | | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Legal Registration | *All required:* Certificat de Înregistrare + Certificat Constatator | | Constitutive Documents | *Any one of:* Actul Constitutiv · Statut | | Tax Registration | Certificat de Înregistrare Fiscală | | Operating Permit | *Any one of:* Autorizație · Acord de Funcționare | | Ownership Records | *Any one of:* Registrul Asociatilor · Registrul Actionarilor | | Governance Records | *All required:* Certificat Constatator + Actul Constitutiv | | Signing Authority | *Any one of:* Hotararea AGA · Hotararea CA · Procura notariala | | Address | *Any one of:* Contract de locațiune · Factură de utilități · Extras bancar | | Good Standing | Certificat Constatator | ## 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 | | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Certificat de Înregistrare** | Legal Registration | | **Certificat Constatator (ONRC)** | Legal Registration, Governance Records, Good Standing | | **Actul Constitutiv (SRL)** | Constitutive Documents, Governance Records | | **Statut (SA)** | Constitutive Documents | | **Certificat de Înregistrare Fiscală (CUI / CIF, ANAF)** | Tax Registration | | **Autorizație de funcționare (municipal operating authorisation)** | Operating Permit | | **Acord de Funcționare (primărie)** | Operating Permit | | **Registrul Asociaților (SRL)** | Ownership Records | | **Registrul Acționarilor (SA)** | Ownership Records | | **Hotărârea AGA (general assembly resolution)** | Signing Authority | | **Hotărârea CA (board resolution)** | Signing Authority | | **Procură notarială (notarized POA)** | Signing Authority | | **Contract de locațiune** | Address | | **Factură de utilități (≤90 zile)** | Address | | **Extras bancar (≤90 zile)** | Address | | **Sector-Specific License** | Autorizație BNR (banking, payments, e-money), Autorizație ASF (capital markets, insurance, pensions) | ### Collection notes * **Legal Registration:** Certificat Constatator is the live-status extract used for KYB; available online via myportal.onrc.ro * **Constitutive Documents:** Single document; includes share capital, object of activity, associate/shareholder names, governance rules * **Tax Registration:** VAT certificate separate if VAT-registered: "Certificat de Înregistrare în scopuri de TVA" * **Operating Permit:** Issued by local town hall; required for each operating location; based on Certificat Constatator * **Sector-Specific License:** MiCA grandfathering window for qualifying incumbents (registered pre-30 Dec 2024, ASF dossier by 31 Dec 2025) ends 2026-06-24; full MiCA license required thereafter * **Governance Records:** SA (monistic): Consiliu de Administrație; SA (dualistic): Directorat + Consiliu de Supraveghere. Changes registered via ONRC mention (mențiune) * **Signing Authority:** Standard is a notarized power of attorney or a certified board resolution; must be apostilled for cross-border use (Romania is a Hague Convention Apostille party). * **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:** No standalone good-standing certificate is issued; a recently dated copy of the listed document evidences current standing. Romania does not issue a separate certificate of good standing; a dated Certificat Constatator (ONRC, issued within 30 days) serves as the live-status extract equivalent and is already modeled under business\_registration. ## 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 | | --------------------------------- | ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Administrator (SRL / SA monistic) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Appointed by general assembly; day-to-day management and legal representation authority | | Director General / Director (SA) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Executive officer under the monistic CA or dualistic Directorat; operational authority | | Membru Consiliu de Administrație | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Member of the Board of Directors (CA) in SA monistic system; governance role | | Membru Consiliu de Supraveghere | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Member of Supervisory Board in SA dualistic system; oversight of Directorat | | Comanditat (SCS / SCA) | `LEGAL_REPRESENTATIVE` | General partner with unlimited liability; manages and legally represents the partnership | | Reprezentant Legal | `LEGAL_REPRESENTATIVE` | Person formally empowered (via AGA resolution or POA) to legally bind the entity | ## Additional fields Country-specific fields you'll need to collect during onboarding, beyond the document uploads. | Field | Applies to | Reason | | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `CAEN activity code (classification of economic activities)` | founder | ONRC registration requires stating CAEN codes; codes determine applicable regulatory regime and municipal authorization scope | ## Notes * SRL minimum capital raised to RON 500 (Law 239/2025, eff. 2025-12-18): prior floor was 1 leu (Law 223/2020 abolished the RON 200 floor in Nov 2020); existing SRLs with net turnover >RON 400,000 must increase to RON 5,000 within two years (by 2027-12-18). Verify capital in Certificat Constatator. * Certificat Constatator is the operative KYB extract: the Certificat de Înregistrare is issued once at incorporation; the Certificat Constatator is the live snapshot. Always request a fresh Certificat Constatator — not older than 30 days for most counterparties. * SA dualistic system requires both Directorat and Supervisory Board: when onboarding an SA using the two-tier structure, directors (Directorat members) and board members (Consiliu de Supraveghere) are distinct — both sets of persons need to be collected and role-mapped separately.
