## FAQ

### What is the RUC?

The eleven-digit number SUNAT issues to every contributor in Peru, companies included. It is the identifier the register, the tax side and a profile call all share.

### Can I search by name?

Yes. A name search ranks the nearest matches, each carrying its RUC, status and address, so a name alone turns into the number you need.

### What does the status tell me?

Whether the entity is active, suspended or removed from the register. The profile endpoint adds the administrative detail behind the status.
