Updated Requirements for Individual Taxpayer Registration:
Identification and Location Documents: The presentation of documents such as identity card, driver's license, passport, among others, is required to verify the taxpayer's identity and location. In addition, receipts such as service invoices or property tax receipts are requested to confirm the physical or electronic address of the establishment.
Specific Documentation According to Activity: Additional documents vary according to the type of economic activity, including qualifications for artisans and operating authorizations for child development centers and shrimp farming and processing companies.

If a third party carries out the procedure, it is necessary to present specific documentation such as the taxpayer's identification and an official authorization generated online.
Updated Requirements for Corporate Taxpayer Registration
Permanent Establishments: Presentation of a power of attorney granted by the foreign company detailing certain requirements. This power of attorney must be legalized or apostilled and, if necessary, translated.
