    How do I check whether a company is still active in Argentina?

    Identify the exact company in ARCA / IGJ, then record its status, source and retrieval date. Active registration does not prove current trading or financial health. Liquidation is not the same as dissolution; interpret each status using the official register's terminology.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Find the company

      Search by name or registration number to open the correct record.

    2. 2

      Read the status field

      Preserve the exact status wording and its effective date where supplied. Consult the official explanation; a non-active label is not by itself a fraud verdict or a complete legal opinion.

    3. 3

      Check the available filing dates

      Distinguish the document date, status effective date and retrieval date. Filing schedules vary by entity and jurisdiction, so a gap is a question to investigate rather than proof of non-compliance.

    4. 4

      Confirm at the source

      Status changes propagate from ARCA / IGJ at https://www.arca.gob.ar/. For a decision with money attached, confirm there.

    Argentina: choosing and checking the right record

    Choose the correct source
    Use ARCA, formerly AFIP, for the exact CUIT tax-registration check. For company registration, select IGJ for CABA or the relevant provincial register. A national tax result and a local commercial-register file answer different questions.
    Confirm the entity
    Keep the 11-digit CUIT together with the legal name and incorporation jurisdiction. Compare the entity on the contract rather than a trading label, and distinguish a fiscal address from a registered office where both are supplied.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I know if a Argentina company is still trading?

    The register's status field is the authoritative answer. An active/registered status on ARCA / IGJ means the entity is currently on the register. It does not by itself prove the business is operating, so also check the most recent filing date.

    What does "dissolved" or "struck off" mean?

    These labels generally indicate a registration has ended or been removed. Check the source's explanation and any subsequent reinstatement or successor filings. Contract validity and legal consequences require separate advice; they cannot be decided from this field alone.

    Is checking company status in Argentina free?

    LemReveal's basic lookup is free. Check ARCA / IGJ's current access terms for status information or official documents; fees and account requirements vary.

    What is a CUIT?

    CUIT (Clave Única de Identificación Tributaria) is Argentina's 11-digit tax identification number. For companies, the format is XX-XXXXXXXX-X. The first two digits indicate entity type (30 for companies, 33 for branches, 34 for non-profits).
