    How do I find the right registered entity in Argentina?

    A registry entity search in Argentina identifies which specific legal entity you are dealing with when a name is shared across several. ARCA / IGJ distinguishes them by registration number, entity type (S.A. (Sociedad Anónima), S.R.L. (Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada), S.A.S. (Sociedad por Acciones Simplificada)) and registered address.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Search the name and expect several hits

      Groups commonly register holding, trading and dormant entities under near-identical names. The first result is not necessarily the one you are dealing with.

    2. 2

      Disambiguate by registration number

      The registration number is unique. If a counterparty cannot give you theirs, that is itself informative.

    3. 3

      Compare entity type and address

      Where the number is unavailable, entity type (S.A. (Sociedad Anónima), S.R.L. (Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada), S.A.S. (Sociedad por Acciones Simplificada)) and registered address usually separate the candidates.

    4. 4

      Record which entity you chose

      Contracts are with an entity, not a brand. Note the registration number you verified so later checks look at the same record.

    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

    Why do several Argentina entities share the same name?

    Groups register separate legal entities — holding, operating, dormant — under closely related names. ARCA / IGJ treats each as a distinct entity with its own registration number.

    How do I tell which entity I am contracting with?

    By registration number. Ask the counterparty for it, then confirm that exact number on ARCA / IGJ. Name alone is not sufficient.

    Is entity search on ARCA / IGJ free?

    Check official search, account and fee rules. LemReveal's basic lookup is separate from official document and subscription charges.

    Does the biggest entity in the results matter most?

    No. What matters is the entity named on your contract or invoice. A dormant shell and a trading company in the same group look similar in a name search and carry very different risk.

    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).

    Is the Argentina company register free to search?

    Yes. Basic company lookups on the ARCA / IGJ 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 Argentina business registry?

    The ARCA / IGJ is the official public register of companies incorporated in Argentina. It is operated by the government and is the primary source cited on this page — https://www.arca.gob.ar/.
