    How do I find a company's registration number in Peru?

    Search the company's name on SUNAT / SUNARP at https://e-consultaruc.sunat.gob.pe. The result page shows its registration number — the same identifier that appears on invoices, contracts, and government filings.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Open SUNAT / SUNARP

      Navigate to https://e-consultaruc.sunat.gob.pe.

    2. 2

      Search by company name

      Type the exact trading or legal name. Partial matches usually work; add the city if the name is common.

    3. 3

      Copy the registration number

      The registration number is displayed at the top of the entity profile. It is the authoritative ID for cross-referencing.

    4. 4

      Confirm it's the right entity

      Check the registered address and incorporation date to be sure you have the correct legal entity, especially for groups with similarly named subsidiaries.

    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.

    Is the Peru company register free to search?

    Yes. Basic company lookups on the SUNAT / SUNARP are free — you can search by company name or registration number, view legal status, registered address and (usually) directors at no cost. Some jurisdictions charge a small fee only for downloading full filed documents.

    What is the official Peru business registry?

    The SUNAT / SUNARP is the official public register of companies incorporated in Peru. It is operated by the government and is the primary source cited on this page — https://e-consultaruc.sunat.gob.pe.

    Where do I find a Peru company's registration number?

    Every registered Peru entity has a unique registration number issued at incorporation. It appears on invoices, contracts, the company's website footer (often in a "legal" section), and prominently on its SUNAT / SUNARP record.

    Is a Peru registration number the same as a VAT number?

    No. The registration number is the identifier issued by the SUNAT / SUNARP when the company was formed. The VAT number is a separate tax identifier issued (only if the company is VAT-registered) by the national tax authority. Many small companies have a registration number but no VAT number.
