## How documents combine

For each evidence area, this table shows whether the listed documents are alternatives (any one of) or a bundle (all required). The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below.

| Evidence area          | Documents needed                                                      |

## 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                                                        |
| ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |

| **Sector-Specific License**         | BCT, CMF                                                      |

### Collection notes

* **Address:** Lease (no time bound) or utility bill or bank statement, with utility/bank dated within 90 days. The same document satisfies both registered-address and operating-address checks.
* **Good Standing:** Tunisia's RNE does not issue a separate Certificate of Good Standing. The Extrait RNE is delivered by email via e-rne.tn, carries an explicit activity status (active / radié), and is treated as valid for six months. A freshly-issued Extrait RNE serves the same compliance function; integrators should collect one dated within 30 days for banking use.

## 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         |
| -------------- | -------------------- | ------------------- |
| Gérant         | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Manages SARL/SUARL. |
| Administrateur | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Board member in SA. |
