    How do I get an official company extract in Argentina?

    Start with ARCA / IGJ at https://www.arca.gob.ar/ to identify the entity and available company extract. An ordinary extract, historical filing and certified copy are different documents. Check the recipient's requirements and official access conditions before ordering. A LemReveal PDF is not a government-certified extract.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Confirm the entity first

      Search by name or registration number and confirm you have the right legal entity before paying for anything.

    2. 2

      Choose the evidence required

      Ask the recipient whether it needs an ordinary extract, historical filing, certified copy, translation or legalisation. A free summary is not automatically sufficient.

    3. 3

      Follow the official document route

      Use https://www.arca.gob.ar/ to find the issuing authority or authorised service and its current fees. Check what the document actually certifies.

    4. 4

      Check the issue date

      Ask what issue date the recipient accepts; there is no universal three-month validity period. Retain the issue date, retrieval date and source.

    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

    Do I need a paid extract to verify a Argentina company?

    Compare available public information with official document options and the recipient's requirements. Free lookup does not guarantee complete or certified evidence.

    What does a Argentina company extract contain?

    Contents vary by document. Check whether it covers current identity, officers, representation or historical filings. A registration certificate does not necessarily describe today's appointments.

    Is a LemReveal PDF an official extract?

    No. It is a third-party research record. Obtain an official or certified document through the relevant authority or authorised service when required.

    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).
