The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below. | Evidence area | Documents needed | | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Legal Registration | Extrait RCCM | | Constitutive Documents | Statuts | | Tax Registration | Certificat NINEA | | Operating Permit | *Any one of:* Patente · Autorisation d'Exercice | | Ownership Records | *Any one of:* Statuts · Registre des Associés · Registre des Actions | | Governance Records | *All required:* Extrait RCCM + Statuts + PV d'Assemblée Générale | | Signing Authority | PV d'Assemblée Générale | | Address | *Any one of:* Bail commercial · Quittance (Senelec / SEN'EAU) · Relevé bancaire | | Good Standing | Extrait RCCM | ## 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 | | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Extrait RCCM** | Legal Registration, Governance Records, Good Standing | | **Statuts** | Constitutive Documents, Ownership Records, Governance Records | | **Certificat NINEA** | Tax Registration | | **Patente** | Operating Permit | | **Autorisation d'Exercice** | Operating Permit | | **Registre des Associés (SARL)** | Ownership Records | | **Registre des Actions (SA)** | Ownership Records | | **PV d'Assemblée Générale** | Governance Records, Signing Authority | | **Bail commercial** | Address | | **Quittance (Senelec / SEN'EAU) (≤90 jours)** | Address | | **Relevé bancaire (≤90 jours)** | Address | | **Sector-Specific License** | BCEAO, AMF-UMOA — Autorité des Marchés Financiers de l'UMOA | ### 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. * **Good Standing:** No standalone CoGS issued in this OHADA jurisdiction; the dated Extrait RCCM (under business\_registration) carries current active/inactive status and serves as the de-facto 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.
