Chile Database Validation verifies a Chilean RUT (Rol Único Tributario, also known as RUN — Rol Único Nacional) against the Servicio de Registro Civil e Identificación, the national civil registry. The lookup returns the holder’s name, date of birth, gender, nationality and RUT status.

Returned data

A successful match returns the registry’s record for the holder. Available fields for Registro Civil:
  • name
  • lastname
  • date_of_birth
  • gender
  • nationality
  • rut_status
The exact fields surfaced in source_data depend on what the registry returns — fields that are absent from the registry record (e.g. an unset expiration_date) are simply omitted.

​
Common use cases

  • Banking / fintech onboarding under SBIF / CMF rules.
  • Tax-residence confirmation for cross-border income reporting.
  • Telecom and utility activation.

​
Pricing & SLAs

Chilean Servicio de Registro Civil charges only on full or partial matches — RUT lookups that the registry can’t resolve return no charge.
  • Per-call price: $0.20 USD.
  • Billing: per successful query. You are not charged when the registry is unreachable, when required fields are missing, or when the request is rejected before reaching the registry.
  • Latency: typical p95 < 1.5 s.
  • Availability: 99.9% per quarter.
