TL;DR. Bolivia’s commercial registry is SEPREC (Servicio Plurinacional de Registro de Comercio). https://www.seprec.gob.bo is online, titled Gob.bo, with the heading SERVICIO PLURINACIONAL DE REGISTRO DE COMERCIO. The search app https://miempresa.seprec.gob.bo, titled SEPREC, builds in the browser and warns visitors without scripting that it will not work (“esta app no funciona correctamente sin JavaScript habilitado”); https://tramites.seprec.gob.bo/ carries the same message. https://virtual.seprec.gob.bo no longer resolves. No search screen, BOB extract price, payment method or turnaround time could be read from those pages, so fees in this guide read unknown rather than free; confirm at source. https://siip.produccion.gob.bo/repSIIP2/formSeprec.php is a ministry overlay titled Historial de la Base Empresarial Vigente del Registro de Comercio de Bolivia, not a route to a certified SEPREC extract.
What is the official Bolivia business registry?
Bolivia’s commercial entities are registered with SEPREC, the Servicio Plurinacional de Registro de Comercio. SEPREC was created by Supreme Decree 4644 in 2021, absorbing functions previously held by FUNDEMPRESA. It sits under the Ministerio de Desarrollo Productivo y Economia Plural.
SEPREC operates under the Codigo de Comercio Boliviano (Law 14379) and subsequent decrees. Its mandate covers individual merchants, commercial societies, foreign company branches, cooperatives with commercial activity, and state-owned enterprises with commercial operations.
The institutional site is https://www.seprec.gob.bo. Its home page links miempresa.seprec.gob.bo and tramites.seprec.gob.bo, both of which build their screens in the browser. virtual.seprec.gob.bo, sometimes cited as the Oficina Virtual, no longer resolves, and this guide names no replacement search address.
What can you search?
No SEPREC company-search form could be read: miempresa builds its screens in the browser. No search fee and no turnaround time are published; confirm at source.
The SIIP overlay at https://siip.produccion.gob.bo/repSIIP2/formSeprec.php is titled Historial de la Base Empresarial Vigente del Registro de Comercio de Bolivia. It is a ministry statistical page on a separate host, not a route to a certified SEPREC extract.
NIT, matricula, officer lists and shareholder data could not be read from the search app; confirm at source.
How much does it cost?
| Item | Cost (BOB) | Cost (USD, approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic company search | Unknown | Unknown |
| Certificado de Matricula de Comercio | Unknown | Unknown |
| Certified extract with officer detail | Unknown | Unknown |
| Annual renewal | Unknown | Unknown |
No BOB extract figures appear on the SEPREC home page or the search app, and no payment method is published there, so the table above reads unknown rather than free; confirm at source.
Do you need a local account or ID?
Unknown. tramites.seprec.gob.bo builds in the browser and its home page links a #/login route, and virtual.seprec.gob.bo no longer resolves, so whether miempresa allows an anonymous search is not confirmed; confirm at source.
Is the website in English?
No. The SEPREC pages reached here are in Spanish, including the miempresa scripting message.
What’s the turnaround time?
Unknown. SEPREC does not publish a turnaround time on these pages; confirm at source.
Is there an API?
No. SEPREC publishes no API on these pages.
What you legally cannot do
SEPREC’s terms of service prohibit bulk extraction or automated scraping of registry data. Commercial redistribution of SEPREC data without authorization is not permitted. Use of registry data should be limited to stated compliance purposes.
Practical tips for foreign compliance buyers
- miempresa builds its search in the browser. This guide does not walk through a Buscador screen it could not read.
- virtual.seprec.gob.bo no longer resolves. Do not send buyers there.
- NIT remains the tax identifier assigned by SIN. This guide does not cover impuestos.gob.bo.
- Annual renewal of Matricula de Comercio is described in SEPREC press notes on its home page (renewal-deadline stories). Those notes are not a fee table.
- FATF status is not covered on the SEPREC pages. Check fatf-gafi.org.
Alternatives if you cannot access SEPREC directly
- Aggregator search (indicative only): OpenCorporates indexes some Bolivian filings.
- SIIP historial page: a ministry overlay, not certified SEPREC extracts.
- Local legal providers for certified extracts when the Oficina Virtual is reachable to them.
Local data suppliers
No Bolivia company-search local supplier is listed here. Rojas & Asociados Abogados (rojas-lawfirm.com) is a real firm, but its home page does not describe SEPREC-based due diligence for foreign clients.
Use SEPREC for the authoritative commercial registration record when a search screen is reachable.
FAQ

Individual merchants, S.R.L., S.A., partnerships, foreign branches, cooperatives with commercial activity, and state enterprises with commercial functions under the Codigo de Comercio.
Does Bolivia have a beneficial ownership (UBO) registry?

How current is the data in the SEPREC registry?
Not stated. SEPREC does not publish how current its data is.
Is Bolivia on the FATF grey list?
FATF status is not covered on the SEPREC pages. See fatf-gafi.org.
What is the difference between the registry and tax/financial filings?
SEPREC maintains the commercial registry. The Servicio de Impuestos Nacionales (SIN) holds NIT tax registration separately. Financial statements are not publicly available through SEPREC.
