Common questions
- Where does this information come from?
- From RUES (Registro Único Empresarial y Social), the registry consolidated by Colombia's chambers of commerce. Croma queries that source in real time and returns it structured.
- Is it free? Are there any limits?
- Yes, it is free and needs no account. There is only a cap on lookups per hour from the same connection to prevent abuse, and one NIT per lookup. For volume, use the Croma API.
- Why does the NIT I entered not show up?
- Because no entity matches that number exactly. Enter it without dots, dashes or the verification digit (for example 900654922). If you do not have the NIT, the Croma API can also search by company name.
- Does this replace a certificate of existence and legal representation?
- No. It is an informational lookup to check a company quickly. For legal procedures you need the certificate issued by the chamber of commerce.
