    How do I search for a company by name in Peru?

    Search the legal name on SUNAT / SUNARP, or use LemReveal's free basic lookup where supported. Treat name matches as candidates until the exact identifier and available identity details agree. Fields such as RUC number (11-digit), Razón social, Legal form, Fiscal address depend on the source; official access and fees vary.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Enter the legal name

      Start with the legal name on the contract. Try a distinctive part only if the source supports partial-name searches; trading names may require a separate source.

    2. 2

      Narrow ambiguous matches

      Common names return several entities. Use the registered address, incorporation date, or entity type (S.A.C. (Sociedad Anónima Cerrada), S.R.L. (Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada), S.A. (Sociedad Anónima)) to identify the right one.

    3. 3

      Open the candidate record

      Compare the exact identifier and available fields. If identity is uncertain, keep the match unresolved rather than selecting the first result.

    4. 4

      Cross-check against SUNAT / SUNARP

      For KYC or contract files, confirm the record against the primary source at https://e-consultaruc.sunat.gob.pe.

    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.
