How to Find Your RFC Using Your CURP

Taxes

Already have a CURP but don't know your RFC? Mexico's SAT has an online tool that lets you check whether your CURP is already associated with an RFC and, if so, see your RFC number. You do not need to visit a SAT office or upload documents for this lookup.

Applies to: Anyone who already has a Mexican CURP and needs to find their associated RFC. Your RFC — Registro Federal de Contribuyentes — is your Mexican federal taxpayer registration number. This guide is for finding an RFC that may already be associated with your CURP, not for completing a new RFC registration.

What to Have Ready

How To Do It

Step 1 — Open the SAT lookup

  1. 1Go to the SAT service called 'Consulta tu clave de RFC mediante CURP.'
  2. 2Use the 'Check Your RFC on SAT' button below to open the official SAT lookup in a new tab.
  3. Check Your RFC on SAT

Step 2 — Enter your information

  1. 1Enter your CURP and the additional information requested by SAT. All required fields must be completed.
The SAT RFC lookup form asks for your CURP and additional information to verify your identity. Source: SAT.

Step 3 — Click Enviar

  1. 1Enviar means Submit. SAT will validate the information against your CURP.
  2. SAT may show an error if a required field is missing, the postal code is not five digits, the CAPTCHA is incorrect, or the information does not match SAT's records.
SAT will flag missing or incorrect information before allowing you to continue.

Step 4 — Get your result

  1. 1If the information matches and your CURP is already associated with an RFC, SAT will display your RFC.
  2. If SAT cannot validate the information, it may show a message saying the validation information is incorrect. This does not necessarily mean you don't have an RFC — it may mean the information entered does not match what SAT has on file.
If SAT cannot validate the information, it shows a message that most validation fields are not correct. This does not necessarily mean you don't have an RFC.
