The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below. | Evidence area | Documents needed | | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Legal Registration | Výpis z obchodného registra | | Constitutive Documents | *Any one of:* Spoločenská zmluva · Zakladateľská listina · Stanovy | | Tax Registration | Osvedčenie o registrácii | | Operating Permit | Živnostenské oprávnenie | | Ownership Records | *Any one of:* Zoznam spoločníkov · Akcionárska kniha | | Governance Records | Výpis z obchodného registra | | Signing Authority | *Any one of:* Uznesenie štatutárneho orgánu · Plnomocenstvo | | Address | *Any one of:* Nájomná zmluva · Faktúra za služby · Bankový výpis | | Good Standing | Výpis z obchodného registra | ## 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 | | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Výpis z obchodného registra** | Legal Registration, Governance Records, Good Standing | | **Spoločenská zmluva (multi-member s.r.o.)** | Constitutive Documents | | **Zakladateľská listina (single-member s.r.o.)** | Constitutive Documents | | **Stanovy (a.s. / j.s.a.)** | Constitutive Documents | | **Osvedčenie o registrácii (DIČ registration certificate)** | Tax Registration | | **Živnostenské oprávnenie (trade licence)** | Operating Permit | | **Zoznam spoločníkov (s.r.o. — members' list in OR extract)** | Ownership Records | | **Akcionárska kniha (a.s. — shareholder register)** | Ownership Records | | **Uznesenie štatutárneho orgánu (board/manager resolution)** | Signing Authority | | **Plnomocenstvo (power of attorney)** | Signing Authority | | **Nájomná zmluva** | Address | | **Faktúra za služby (≤90 dní)** | Address | | **Bankový výpis (≤90 dní)** | Address | | **Sector-Specific License** | NBS licence (banking, payment institution, e-money, insurance, investment firm, CASP) | ### Collection notes * **Legal Registration:** Downloadable from orsr.sk; includes IČO, seat, entity type, statutory representatives, filing date. * **Constitutive Documents:** Notarised signatures required. a.s. founding deed must be notarial deed (notárska zápisnica). * **Tax Registration:** Issued by Finančná správa; collect both DIČ certificate and IČ DPH certificate if entity is VAT-registered. * **Operating Permit:** Issued by district živnostenský office; required for most commercial activities; searchable at zrsr.sk. * **Sector-Specific License:** NBS is sole sector regulator. Full CASP/crypto authorisation required from NBS since 2025-12-30 (MiCA transition elapsed). * **Governance Records:** OR extract lists all konateľ (s.r.o.), members of predstavenstvo (a.s.), and their term dates. * **Signing Authority:** Signatures on POA must match OR-registered representatives; notarisation required when acting for third-party filings. * **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:** Slovakia does not issue a separate certificate of good standing; the Výpis z obchodného registra from orsr.sk serves all KYB purposes including incumbency. Request a dated extract (výpis), not an older copy. ## 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 | | --------------------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Konateľ (s.r.o.) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Statutory manager with day-to-day executive authority; represents the company. | | Člen predstavenstva (a.s./j.s.a.) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Member of the board of directors (predstavenstvo); governance role. | | Predseda predstavenstva | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Chair of the board of directors; governance, not operational. | | Komplementár (k.s.) | `LEGAL_REPRESENTATIVE` | General partner in k.s.; unlimited liability, manages and represents the partnership. | | Spoločník v.o.s. | `LEGAL_REPRESENTATIVE` | General partnership member; jointly and severally liable; represents the v.o.s. | | Prokurista | `LEGAL_REPRESENTATIVE` | Holder of prokura (commercial power of attorney); registered in OR. | ## Notes * j.s.a. is not recognised in many legacy databases: Introduced 2017-01-01 (Act 389/2015); older screening databases may misclassify it or lack governance-structure data. Flag for manual review. * Notarial deed required for a.s. formation: The zakladateľská zmluva (founding deed) for an a.s. must be executed as a notárska zápisnica (notarial deed). An s.r.o. requires only certified signatures, not a full notarial deed. * OR extract is the single source of truth: Slovakia does not issue a separate certificate of good standing; the Výpis z obchodného registra from orsr.sk serves all KYB purposes, including incumbency. Request a dated extract (výpis), not an older copy.
