## 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 |
| - | - |
| Legal Registration | Certificate of State Registration |
| Constitutive Documents | *All required:* Charter + Founders Agreement |
| Tax Registration | INN Certificate |
| Operating Permit | Activity License (Лицензия на осуществление деятельности) |
| Ownership Records | Registry Extract (Выписка из реестра) |
| Governance Records | *Any one of:* Registry Extract (Выписка из реестра) showing director · Executive Body Appointment Record |
| Signing Authority | Notarized Power of Attorney (Нотариально заверенная доверенность) |
| Address | *Any one of:* Договор аренды · Квитанция за коммунальные услуги · Выписка с банковского счета |
| Good Standing | Registry Extract (Выписка из реестра) |

## 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 |
| - | - |
| **Certificate of State Registration (Свидетельство о государственной регистрации)** | Legal Registration |
| **Charter (Устав)** | Constitutive Documents |
| **Founders Agreement (Учредительный договор)** | Constitutive Documents |
| **INN Certificate (Свидетельство об ИНН)** | Tax Registration |
| **Activity License (Лицензия на осуществление деятельности)** | Operating Permit |
| **Registry Extract (Выписка из реестра)** | Ownership Records, Governance Records, Good Standing |
| **Executive Body Appointment Record** | Governance Records |
| **Notarized Power of Attorney (Нотариально заверенная доверенность)** | Signing Authority |
| **Договор аренды** | Address |
| **Квитанция за коммунальные услуги (≤90 дней)** | Address |
| **Выписка с банковского счета (≤90 дней)** | Address |
| **Sector-Specific License** | NBKR Banking/Payments License |

### Collection notes

* **Legal Registration:** Issued by Ministry of Justice; carries registration number and legal form.
* **Constitutive Documents:** Charter required for all entities; founders agreement required for multi-member OsOO and AK. Single-member OsOO may use charter alone.
* **Tax Registration:** 14-digit code; auto-issued alongside state registration via one-stop-shop; verify at sti.gov.kg.
* **Operating Permit:** Required for restricted activity categories; issued by national or local authority depending on activity type. Not required for all entities.
* **Sector-Specific License:** NBKR licenses banks, payment organizations, forex dealers; FSA/Gosfinnadzor licenses insurance companies, securities market participants.
* **Governance Records:** Director name and appointment recorded in Ministry of Justice register; extract shows current incumbent.
* **Signing Authority:** Director of record signs on behalf of entity without POA; third-party representatives require notarized POA per Law "On Notariat."
* **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. Kyrgyzstan's Ministry of Justice does not issue a separate Certificate of Good Standing; a recently dated extract (выписка / справка) from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, available via the Tunduk e-services portal or record.minjust.gov.kg, reflects current active status and serves this function.

## 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 |
| - | - | - |
| Директор / Руководитель (Director/Head) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Executive head of entity; day-to-day management authority; signatory of record without separate POA. |
| Председатель Совета директоров (Board Chair) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Chair of the board of directors in an AK; governance role. |
| Член Совета директоров (Board Member) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Non-executive board member of an AK. |
| Представитель по доверенности (Authorized Representative / POA Holder) | `LEGAL_REPRESENTATIVE` | Third party empowered to bind the company via notarized power of attorney. |

## Notes

* Registry portal is Kyrgyz/Russian only. The Ministry of Justice online portal (online.minjust.gov.kg) has no English interface; extracts are issued in Kyrgyz or Russian. Budget for certified translation of all registry documents.
* Apostille Convention — two objections remain. Kyrgyzstan acceded 15 November 2010 (entry into force 31 July 2011). Germany withdrew its objection 7 October 2024; Belgium withdrew 11 June 2025. Austria and Greece objections remain outstanding as of 2026-05-06; verify Convention applicability for documents destined for these jurisdictions via the HCCH status table.
* One-stop-shop registration auto-creates INN. State registration at the Ministry of Justice simultaneously registers the entity with the Tax Service; a separate INN application is not needed for newly incorporated entities. Foreign legal entities must register separately via sti.gov.kg.
