Bolivia NIT Lookup API: Company Name and Taxpayer Status

Updated November 2026

This guide shows how to look up a company in Bolivia by NIT with Verifik’s API: the endpoint, its parameters, a request you can paste into a terminal, the documented response and errors, and what to watch for when you put it in production. Everything below comes from the official endpoint documentation.

Company records in Bolivia

In Bolivia, the Número de Identificación Tributaria (NIT) is assigned by the Servicio de Impuestos Nacionales (SIN) and identifies every taxpayer, from sole traders to corporations. Suppliers and customers routinely ask for it before invoicing.

Verifik’s endpoint takes the NIT and returns the registered business name, the taxpayer status and the date of the last status change when available.

If the use case is clear, create an account and test the endpoint from your own code.

How to call the Bolivia NIT API

Endpoint: GET https://api.verifik.co/v2/bo/company. Send your token in the Authorization: Bearer header. Parameters, as documented:

Request example with placeholder values (replace them with your user’s data):

curl --location --request GET 'https://api.verifik.co/v2/bo/company?documentType=NIT&documentNumber=1234567' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

200 response from the docs (personal data masked):

{
  "data": {
    "businessName": "INETYF AUTOMATIZACION",
    "dateLastState": "",
    "documentNumber": "5287278014",
    "documentType": "NIT",
    "status": "ACTIVO"
  },
  "signature": {
    "dateTime": "October 10, 2025 10:47 AM",
    "message": "Certified by Verifik.co"
  },
  "id": "80NJ4"
}

A successful call returns HTTP 200 with a data object containing: businessName, dateLastState, documentNumber, documentType, status. Every response also carries a signature (timestamp and “Certified by Verifik.co”) and a unique id you can store as evidence of the check.

Documented errors for /v2/bo/company

• 401 UNAUTHORIZED (“Authentication required”): the token is missing or invalid; check the Authorization header.
• 404 NotFound (“Record not found”): no record was found; do not treat it as a match and route the case to review or ask for another document.
• 500 InternalServerError (“Server error”): a server or source error; retry with backoff and log the request id.

Integration tips

• Use status as the main gate: onboard only taxpayers whose status is ACTIVO, and route others to review.
• documentType must be NIT.
• The dataset is compact (name, status, last status date). For fuller due diligence, contact Verifik support about extended fields, as the docs suggest.
• Store the signature as proof of the status on the onboarding date.

Personal data and terms of use

Company records can include personal data about partners, officers or representatives. Use the API only for a lawful purpose you can document, such as onboarding, fraud prevention or contract checks, collect consent where the local law requires it, and keep only the fields you need. Usage is governed by the smartCHECK terms and conditions.

Pricing

Each successful request consumes credits from your Verifik plan. Current plans and per-endpoint costs are on the smartCHECK pricing page.
