Peru: choosing and checking the right record
- Choose the correct source
- Use SUNAT's Consulta de RUC for taxpayer-registration facts. This is a tax source, not a complete company-registration or ownership file. Confirm the exact RUC before considering any separate corporate-document inquiry.
- Confirm the entity
- Match the 11-digit RUC and razón social. Preserve the estado del contribuyente separately from the condición del domicilio; they describe different things and must not be collapsed into a single safe-or-unsafe label.
- When the search returns nothing
- Check the exact number and legal name and ask the counterparty to clarify mismatches. A blocked or unavailable SUNAT response is not a no-registration verdict. A brand name may differ from the taxpayer named on the invoice.
- What the record cannot establish
- An activo or habido label does not establish solvency, beneficial ownership or permission for every regulated activity. A declared activity mismatch is a question to clarify, not automatic evidence of illegal operation.
SUNAT taxpayer status explanations
Check current access and document options on the official SUNAT / SUNARP site. Keep the exact entity identifier, source URL and retrieval date with your evidence. A LemReveal record PDF is not a government-certified extract.

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?▾
Use the available lookup or the linked official official Peru register service. Start with the legal name, then compare the exact registration number and available identity fields. Name matches are candidates; source coverage and partial-name support vary.
Is the Peru company register free to search?▾
Basic company lookup is free on LemReveal. The official Peru register has independent access rules and may require an account or charge for searches, extracts or particular documents. Check the source's current terms.
Can I search Peru companies by registration number?▾
Where the source supports it, use the exact registration number together with its register or jurisdiction. Preserve prefixes and leading zeros and compare the returned legal name. A number alone does not guarantee coverage or a successful lookup.
How do I check whether a company is registered in Peru?▾
Search the exact registration number or legal name above, then confirm the entity's identifier and source. An empty result can reflect coverage limits, a source outage, spelling or a different jurisdiction; it does not prove the business is unregistered. A fuzzy candidate is not a confirmed identity.
How can I tell if a Peru company is still active?▾
Read the status and effective date where the official Peru register supplies them. Active registration does not establish trading or financial health. Monitoring is available only for supported sources and confirmed records; verify the actual watch state.
