    How do I check if a company is registered in Chile?

    To check if a company is registered in Chile, search its exact registration number or legal name on SII / Registro de Comercio (https://www.sii.cl). Compare the identifier and available identity fields before reading the recorded status. A name-only match is a candidate, not confirmation. Official access requirements and document fees vary.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Open the official SII / Registro de Comercio

      Go to https://www.sii.cl. This is the primary government-operated source.

    2. 2

      Search by name or number

      Use the legal name or identifier supported by SII / Registro de Comercio. Trading-name and partial-name searches are not universal.

    3. 3

      Check status and legal name

      Compare the exact identifier and legal name. Preserve the source's status wording: historical and dissolved entities can still have registry records.

    4. 4

      Cross-check the registered address

      Compare the available registered address with the counterparty's documents. A registered office can differ legitimately from a trading address; clarify the difference rather than treating it as evidence of misconduct.

    5. 5

      Download the official extract (optional)

      Most registers let you download a formal extract or certificate. Use this for KYC, procurement, or contract files.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I check if a company is registered in Chile?

    Search the exact registration number on SII / Registro de Comercio at https://www.sii.cl, then compare the legal name and available identity details. Read the status and its date in the source's own terminology. Name similarity alone does not confirm the entity.

    How can I check if a Chile company is still active?

    Read the status on the exact entity's SII / Registro de Comercio record, preserving its wording and retrieval date. Liquidation is not the same as dissolution: an entity can remain registered while undergoing liquidation. A registry status is not a solvency or trustworthiness assessment.

    Is a Chile company with a website automatically registered?

    No. A website, email domain or invoice letterhead proves nothing. The only authoritative proof is a current entry in SII / Registro de Comercio with a matching legal name and registration number.

    What proves a Chile company is legally registered?

    An entry in SII / Registro de Comercio with an "active" or equivalent status is the definitive proof. The registration number returned by SII / Registro de Comercio is the authoritative identifier.

    What is a RUT?

    RUT (Rol Único Tributario) is Chile's universal tax identification number for individuals and companies. For companies, it typically starts with 76, 77, or 78 followed by millions-range digits.
