How to search the SUNAT / SUNARP
- 1
Tax Registry Search (SUNAT)
Access the 'Consulta RUC' portal. You can search by RUC number (11 digits), Document Number (DNI), or Name/Business Name ('Nombre o Razón Social'). This provides tax status, address, and legal representative names.
- 2
Corporate Filing Search (SUNARP)
Use the 'Síguelo' or 'Directorio de Personas Jurídicas' on the SUNARP website. Search by the entity's name or the Electronic Entry ('Partida Registral') to access the actual incorporation documents and board resolutions.
- 3
Verification of Legal Representation
Request a 'Certificado de Vigencia de Poder' via SUNARP's SPRL (Servicio de Publicidad Registral en Línea) to confirm who is currently authorized to sign on behalf of the company.
Who uses this data
KYC compliance officers verifying Peruvian counterparties, legal teams conducting due diligence for mergers and acquisitions, and procurement departments validating the tax standing and legal existence of providers.
Access, fees & notes
SUNAT data is generally free and real-time. SUNARP documents (copies of deeds, titles, and powers) require the payment of administrative fees through a prepaid user account in the SPRL system.
Cost & access
SUNAT tax info is free. SUNARP corporate certificates and historic filings require per-document fees typically ranging from 5 to 70 PEN.
Local-language glossary
- Registro Único de Contribuyentes (RUC)
- The unique 11-digit identification number assigned by SUNAT to every taxpayer in Peru.
- Sociedad Anónima Cerrada (S.A.C.)
- A closely held corporation, the most common legal entity for small to medium-sized businesses in Peru.
- Razón Social
- The official legal name of a company as registered in the public registries.
- Partida Registral
- The unique electronic file number where all legal acts of a corporation are recorded in SUNARP.
- Estado del Contribuyente
- The current tax status; 'Activo' means the company is operational, while 'Baja' indicates it has ceased activities.
Common mistakes to avoid
✗ Assuming 'Nombre Comercial' is the same as 'Razón Social'.
✓ Search by the legal name (Razón Social) found on tax documents, as trade names may not be registered in the tax database.
✗ Ignoring the 'Condición del Contribuyente' status.
✓ Always check if the status is 'Habido'; a status of 'No Habido' refers to an unverified fiscal address, which prevents the entity from issuing valid tax receipts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a RUC?▾
RUC (Registro Único de Contribuyentes) is Peru's 11-digit taxpayer identification number. For companies, it starts with 20. It's assigned by SUNAT and used for all tax and commercial purposes.
What is a S.A.C.?▾
S.A.C. (Sociedad Anónima Cerrada) is Peru's most popular company type for small and medium businesses. It allows 2-20 shareholders and has simpler governance than an open S.A. Share transfers are restricted.
How do I verify a Peruvian company?▾
SUNAT provides free RUC lookup at e-consultaruc.sunat.gob.pe. You can search by RUC number, company name, or representative name. Results include tax status, address, and economic activity.
Is Peruvian company data open?▾
SUNAT provides free basic taxpayer data. SUNARP provides more detailed corporate information (articles of incorporation, directors, capital) for a fee through their online platform.
How do I search for a company in Peru by name?▾
Type the company name into the search box above. Results come from the official Peru register and show the registered name, registration number, status and registered address. Partial names work — searching "acme" returns every registered entity whose name starts with it.
Is the Peru company register free to search?▾
Yes. Searching by company name or registration number is free here and on the official Peru register — no account or payment is required for a basic lookup. Certified extracts and filed documents may carry a fee on the official register.
Can I search Peru companies by registration number?▾
Yes. Enter the registration number instead of the name and the lookup resolves it directly to the matching record, which is the fastest way to confirm an identifier printed on an invoice or contract.
How do I check whether a company is registered in Peru?▾
Search the name or registration number above. If the business is on the official Peru register, the record appears with its registered name and identifier. If nothing is returned, the name as spelled is not on the register — try a partial name or the number printed on the invoice or contract before concluding the business is unregistered.
How can I tell if a Peru company is still active?▾
Each record carries the status the official Peru register publishes for that entity. Registration status is a factual register field, not a judgement about the business — for ongoing certainty you can watch a record and be emailed when its registered details change.
