SUNAT RUC Status Codes Explained in English
Last reviewed 2026-11-14 · HALPII S.A.C.
Every RUC in SUNAT's registry carries two codes: the taxpayer status (estado del contribuyente), which says whether the RUC is active, and the fiscal-address condition (condición de domicilio), which says whether SUNAT can locate the taxpayer. Below is each value as it appears in SUNAT's Padrón Reducido file, with its meaning in English.
BAJA PROV. POR OFICI. The codes below are written exactly as they appear in the file.Taxpayer status codes
The verdict column shows what our RUC lookup returns for each status when the address condition is HABIDO. Only ACTIVO can pass. A RUC that is not active gets a fail, and its invoices may not be valid for tax purposes. A temporary suspension or a RUC that has not started activities gets a review.
