How do I search the company register in Peru?
Start with SUNAT / SUNARP (https://e-consultaruc.sunat.gob.pe) for Peru company records. Use the supported legal-name or identifier search and inspect available fields, such as RUC number (11-digit), Razón social, Legal form. Official searches, documents and APIs have separate access rules; LemReveal's free lookup does not remove those conditions.
Step-by-step
- 1
Know which register holds the record
In Peru, company records sit on SUNAT / SUNARP. Trade directories and aggregator sites are copies — the register is the source of truth.

Search by name or registration number
Use the exact identifier with its issuing register or jurisdiction. Name searches can return several candidates; a number is not a guarantee that the source is available or covers the record.
- 3
Read the register entry, not the marketing page
The register entry shows RUC number (11-digit), Razón social, Legal form. That is what a bank, auditor or counterparty will check.

Keep a dated copy
Register entries change. Save the record with the date you retrieved it, or set up monitoring so you are told when the entry changes.
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.

Check SUNAT / SUNARP's current terms for basic searches, profiles, documents and APIs. Not all are necessarily free or available without an account.
