Official company records for Argentina, on demand

The Registro Nacional de Sociedades (RNS) is the national database kept under Argentina's Ministry of Justice. It administers and centralizes, in a single base, the information of private legal persons, Argentine and foreign companies, civil associations and foundations, under Ley 26.047 and Ley 27.444. Entities are identified exclusively by their tax code (CUIT or CDI), which prevents confusion between namesakes, and the online consultation returns information on legal persons by tax identifier or company name.

Under Ley 26.047, the national registries it brings together, covering companies limited by shares, non-share companies, foreign companies, and civil associations and foundations, are organized and operated by the Inspección General de Justicia (IGJ) of the Ministry of Justice, using information systems provided by the federal tax administration. The law makes the national registries publicly consultable by electronic means, without any need to prove an interest, against a fee set by the Ministry of Justice.

Incorporation itself remains local. The administrative and judicial authorities of each jurisdiction that hold the functions of the Registro Público register the constitution and modification of companies and remit the corresponding data electronically to the IGJ. The IGJ is also, in its own right, the body that registers and supervises commercial companies and civil entities domiciled in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. The Company Records report for Argentina includes the registry extract sourced from the official register.
