What is the RUT?

The RUT (Rol Único Tributario) is a unique number that identifies all natural persons and legal entities in Chile before the Internal Revenue Service (SII). It is the main tax identifier of the country.

RUT Structure:

  • Body: Unique number assigned sequentially (usually 7-8 digits)
  • Check Digit (DV): Number from 0 to 9 or the letter K, calculated using Modulo 11
  • Separator: Hyphen (-) separating the body from the check digit

Validation Algorithm (Modulo 11):

  1. Multiply each digit of the body by a factor (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 2...)
  2. Sum all the products
  3. Calculate modulo 11 of the sum
  4. Subtract the result from 11
  5. If the result is 11 → digit = 0
  6. If the result is 10 → digit = K
  7. In other cases → digit = result

RUT Types:

Natural Person RUT:
  • Identification of Chilean individuals
  • Mandatory for all citizens
  • Assigned at birth or upon obtaining ID
Legal Entity RUT:
  • Identification of companies and partnerships

  • ✅ Person type classification
  • ❌ Does not verify if RUT is active or exists in SII

Common Formats:

  • With dots: 11.111.111-1
  • Without dots: 11111111-1
  • Without hyphen: 111111111 (for validation)
  • Short body: 1.926.375-7 (historical example)

Important:

This tool only validates the format and mathematical structure of the RUT. It does not confirm if the RUT is active, registered with the SII, or belongs to a specific person. For official verification, consult the SII website (https://www.sii.cl/).

Validation Algorithm (Modulo 11):

<strong>Algorithm:</strong>

Paso a Paso:

1

Multiply each digit of the body by a factor (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 2...)

2

Sum all the products

3

Calculate modulo 11 of the sum

4

Subtract the result from 11

5

If the result is 11 → digit = 0

6

If the result is 10 → digit = K

7

In other cases → digit = result

Ejemplo: 11.111.111-1

(2×1)+(3×1)+(4×1)+(5×1)+(6×1)+(7×1)+(2×1)+(3×1)+(4×1)+(5×1)+(6×1)+(7×1)+(2×1)+(3×1) = 59
59 ÷ 11 = 5 con residuo 4
11 - 4 = 7 → Dígito = 7
