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.

​
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. Not applicable in Turkmenistan: Operating Permit, Good Standing. Skip these areas — no local artifact exists.

​
Collection notes

  • Legal Registration: Issued by MFE Department of State Registration; online registration portal now available.
  • Constitutive Documents: Two copies required in Turkmen and Russian; governs capital, shareholders, and governance.
  • Tax Registration: 12-digit TIN issued by State Tax Service; separate from registration certificate.
  • Sector-Specific License: Required for banking, insurance, securities, and hydrocarbon activities.
  • Governance Records: Director (Direktor) named in charter and registry; JSCs also have Board of Directors (Direktorlar Geňeşi).
  • Signing Authority: POA must be notarized; for branches, certified by Turkmenistan consulate or MFA.
  • Address: Lease agreement (no time bound) OR utility bill OR bank statement dated within 90 days. Same evidence satisfies both registered-address and operating-address checks.

​
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.

Additional fields

Country-specific fields you’ll need to collect during onboarding, beyond the document uploads.

Notes

  • No apostille. Turkmenistan is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention (confirmed via HCCH Status Table, 2026-05-06). All foreign public documents require full consular legalization through a Turkmenistan embassy/consulate or MFA certification — apostille is invalid.
  • Branch registration takes 45–50 days through three separate authorities (MFE Tax Department, Agency of Economic Risks Prevention, and Commission of Economic Risks Prevention). Collect all foreign-investor documents in advance; faxed copies are rejected.
