RFC guides

Check the format of a Mexican RFC

This tool checks the structure of the key. To find out whether an RFC is registered, use the official SAT service.

The check runs in your browser and does not query the SAT registry.

What the tool checks

It checks the 13-character format for individuals or 12-character format for companies, the date included in the key and its check digit. It recognises the two generic RFCs as exceptions.

What a successful result means

It means the key passes these mathematical checks. It does not confirm identity, name, tax address, economic activity or registration in the taxpayer registry.
