Paraguay Company Finder: DNIT RUC registry, legal form, status

By LatSouth. Search 174,404 Paraguayan legal entities (RUC 80) from the Dirección Nacional de Ingresos Tributarios' RUC listing: filter by name keyword, legal form and status, and get the RUC with its check digit, legal name, harmonized legal form and status in the LatSouth schema.

Company data only: natural persons (whose RUC is their cédula) are not in the data; no e-mail, phone, address, owners or legal representatives. Names built from a person's name (E.I.R.L., E.A.S. unipersonal, estates, co-ownerships of named persons) are masked as ***.

Rows	174,404 RUCs · 88,743 active, private, not sole-owner (the default filters)
Data as of	2026-10-01 (DNIT monthly listing); every row carries data_as_of
Price	US$0.003 per company returned: 1,000 companies = US$3

Who it's for

• KYB / onboarding: confirm that a Paraguayan RUC exists, its legal name and whether DNIT lists it as active.
• Market sizing: count S.A. / S.R.L. / E.A.S. / cooperatives by keyword (OUTPUT.total_matching).
• List building: start from a name keyword ("agro", "transporte", "import") and enrich downstream.

Limitations

• Name, RUC and status only: no activity, address, size or dates are published by DNIT.
• legal_form is inferred from the registered name (the listing has no legal-form column); 2,365 active companies have no recognizable form.
• E.A.S. unipersonal names are masked like every single-owner form (LatSouth rule), even when the name is a brand.

Pricing

Pay per event: company-result, US$0.003 per company row returned (1,000 = US$3). Set a maximum cost per run and the actor stops when it is reached (OUTPUT.stopped_by_budget).
