Tax ID Formats
Because the API deals with various national tax identifiers, it is crucial to use the correct format for each country’s ID in requests. The service will return an error code (e.g., IDV-3002) if the format is incorrect.
| Country | ID Type | Format & Requirements | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Argentina | CUIT/CUIL | 11 digits. No letters or hyphens. First 2 digits indicate type; last digit is a verifier. | 20304567891 |
| Brazil | CPF | 11 digits. Used for MEI checks. (Note: CNPJ is not used in this version). | 12345678901 |
| Colombia | NIT | 10 numeric digits (9 digits + 1 check digit). Do not include hyphens. | 9000700035 |
| Peru | RUC / DNI | DNI (8 digits) for lookup; RUC (11 digits) for businesses. API expects DNI to find RUC. | 10415254553 |
| Mexico | RFC | Alphanumeric. 12 chars for companies; 13 for individuals. Case-insensitive. | ABC010203YZ1 |
We recommend pre-validating user input (length, patterns, and check digits) on your side to catch errors before hitting the API.
