Mexico RFC Validator

Mexico RFC Validator

Validate Mexican RFC tax IDs in bulk against the official SAT registry. Each RFC returns its registration status, registered taxpayer name, and fiscal situation. No API key, no SAT portal login. Export results to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

The SAT portal only lets you check one RFC at a time, and the official API requires a cumbersome e.firma certificate. This Actor validates lists of Mexican RFCs directly, returning the official registration status and taxpayer name for each one. It works for both persona física and persona moral IDs, so you can verify suppliers, customers, or payroll records without manual lookups.

Who uses it	What they scrape Mexico RFC Validator for
Contadores y despachos contables	Validar listas de RFCs de clientes y proveedores antes de emitir facturas electrónicas (CFDI).
Compliance officers	Verify supplier RFCs during onboarding to confirm they are registered and active with SAT.
Accounts payable teams	Bulk-check vendor RFCs before processing payments to avoid rejected CFDI invoices.
HR and payroll departments	Validate employee RFCs in bulk to ensure correct payroll tax withholding and IMSS registration.

What it does

This Actor validates a list of Mexican RFC tax IDs against the SAT public registry and returns each RFC with its status, registered name, and fiscal details as a flat row.

• 📋 Bulk validation: Paste a list of RFCs and validate up to a million per run, no SAT portal login required.
• ✅ Registration status: Returns whether each RFC is registered, active, and its current fiscal situation.
• 🏢 Taxpayer name: Retrieves the registered business or individual name (razón social or nombre) tied to each RFC.
• 📄 Flat row output: Every validated RFC comes back as one row with its status and name, ready for CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML export.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

What you can do with Mexico RFC Validator data

🧾 Validate supplier RFCs before CFDI invoicing.

An accounts payable team uploads a list of 500 vendor RFCs, validates them all in one run, and flags any unregistered IDs before issuing purchase invoices.

👥 Bulk-check employee RFCs for payroll.

An HR department validates a new-hire RFC list against SAT to confirm each employee's tax ID is active before the first payroll run.

📊 Audit a client portfolio for fiscal compliance.

A contador runs a client's full supplier list through the Actor and delivers a report showing which RFCs are active and which need updating.

🔍 Screen potential business partners.

A compliance officer validates the RFCs of prospective vendors during due diligence to confirm they are registered and in good standing with SAT.

Why choose this scraper

	What you get
Bulk validation	Check hundreds or thousands of RFCs in one run instead of one-by-one on the SAT portal.
No e.firma needed	Skip the SAT API's certificate requirement; this reads the public registry directly.
Fixed schema	Every RFC returns the same fields: status, name, and fiscal situation, no parsing required.
Export ready	Results land in your dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML for direct import into your ERP or accounting system.

How it compares

This Actor focuses on bulk SAT registry validation with no e.firma requirement, while the competitor adds Lista 69-B blacklist checks for a different compliance use case.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results for my RFC list?

Check that your RFCs are in the correct format (12 or 13 characters for persona moral, 13 for persona física). Remove any spaces, dashes, or special characters. Also confirm the maxItems setting is high enough to cover your list.

The Actor returns 'not found' for an RFC I know is valid.

The SAT registry may have a temporary outage or the RFC might be newly registered and not yet indexed. Wait a few hours and retry. Double-check the RFC string for typos or extra characters.

The run is taking too long.

Large lists of thousands of RFCs take time because each one requires a separate SAT lookup. Reduce the maxItems limit or split your list into smaller batches across multiple runs.

I get an error about the input format.

The RFC List input expects an array of strings. Paste one RFC per line in the string list editor. Do not include commas, quotes, or other delimiters between RFCs.

Some RFCs return a status I don't understand.

The Actor returns the raw status as provided by the SAT registry. Common statuses include 'Activo', 'Suspendido', or 'No encontrado'. Refer to the SAT's own documentation for the full list of fiscal situation codes.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Does this Actor check the Lista 69-B (EFOS) blacklist?	This Actor validates RFCs against the SAT public registry for registration status and taxpayer name. It does not check the Lista 69-B blacklist of presumed shell companies. For that, use a dedicated EFOS verification tool.
Do I need an e.firma or SAT login to use this?	No. This Actor reads the public SAT registry directly. You do not need an e.firma certificate, a SAT portal account, or any API credentials.
How many RFCs can I validate in one run?	You can validate up to one million RFCs per run. Paste your list into the RFC List input field and set the maximum records limit.
What does the Actor return for an invalid or unregistered RFC?	It returns the RFC along with a status indicating it is not found or not registered in the SAT database, so you can identify which IDs need correction.
Does it work for both persona física and persona moral RFCs?	Yes. The Actor validates both individual (persona física) and business (persona moral) RFC formats and returns the registered name for each.
Can I validate RFCs with foreign tax IDs or non-Mexican formats?	No. This Actor only validates Mexican RFCs against the SAT registry. Foreign tax IDs use different formats and registries.
What export formats are supported?	Results can be exported to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML directly from your Apify dataset, ready for import into accounting software or ERPs.
Is the data real-time or cached?	Each RFC is validated against the live SAT registry at the time of the run, so you get the current registration status and taxpayer name.
Can I schedule recurring validations?	Yes. You can schedule the Actor to run daily, weekly, or monthly via Apify's scheduler to keep your RFC records up to date.
What happens if the SAT portal is slow or down?	The Actor retries failed lookups automatically. If the SAT registry is temporarily unavailable, the run may take longer or return partial results.
