Search step by step
From public search to the appropriate document
Open the public directory
Choose Directorio de Unidades Económicas on the portal. Search by company name or Matrícula. The search is available without an account or payment. [1]
Compare identity and renewal status
Check name, region and status. MATRÍCULA NO RENOVADA means not renewed; MATRÍCULA CANCELADA means cancelled. Further information is withheld for such entries. Use the historical-information product for the register history. [1] [4]
Select the information product
Choose procedure 54 for specific facts, 55 for commercial history or 56 for copies of filed documents. Procedure 53 provides an official non-registration certificate. [2]
Apply without digital identity
Follow the product page’s Portal de Trámites link. The instructions require a completed virtual application and payment through the offered platform. They expressly specify access sin ciudadanía digital. [3] [4] [5] [6]
Resolve delivery before payment
For digital copies, SEPREC describes an emailed download link. Product pages also describe PDFs for specific and historical certificates, but the 2026 guide requires attendance and collection. Ask info@seprec.gob.bo which procedure applies before relying on fully remote delivery. [5] [3] [4] [2] [1]

Choose the product that answers your question
A Certificado Específico certifies selected register facts. A Certificado de Tradición Comercial provides the commercial history reflected in filed documents. Copias Digitales are copies from the commercial-register file. [3] [4] [5] [1]
Fees depend on legal form
The official tariff gives the same tiered prices for products 54, 55 and 56: BOB 78 for sole traders; BOB 136.50 for S.R.L., general partnerships and simple limited partnerships; BOB 175 for joint-stock, mixed-economy and limited-by-shares companies, housing-finance entities and foreign-incorporated companies. BOB is the boliviano, abbreviated Bs by the authority. This is a product tariff, not a general per-page charge. [2] [3] [4] [5]
Conflicting delivery instructions and time limits
The product pages offer electronic certificates. For Trámite 54, SEPREC describes a PDF with a QR code delivered through an email link. For Trámite 55, the product page describes PDF access after payment. [3] [4] [2]
Non-registration certificates differ by subject
Procedure 53 certifies that a natural or legal person is not registered. For natural persons it describes a PDF with QR code through an emailed link. For legal persons it requires collection at a SEPREC service platform after online application, payment and review. Do not apply the natural-person digital route to companies. [6] [2]
Avoid common mistakes
Frequently asked questions
Can I obtain Bolivian register documents as PDFs?
Official product pages specify PDFs with QR codes for specific and historical certificates, but the 2026 guide requires attendance and collection for those same products. Both sources describe digital file copies as downloads without specifying the file format. Confirm the delivery route for your particular order. [3] [4] [5] [2]
