The official source for Puerto Rico business entity search
Every listing on this page is an official government register: coverage is evidenced by the register's own pages, never asserted. Ordering is a printed rule, not a rating: registers with a verified official fee first, then by verified-fact count, then by name.
Using the official record
Puerto Rico's Registry of Legal Entities was recreated in 2022 under the new Civil Code, is run by the Department of State, and its public search interface operates in both Spanish and English.
What a lookup answers: whether the entity exists and its current status, its file number, and its agent of record; the register is also where certificates and copies are ordered when a bank or counterparty needs the office's formal statement rather than your screenshot. Use the official link in the table; it is the government's own site, not a reseller.
No certificate fee for Puerto Rico is verified from an official public page yet, so this page shows that absence instead of an estimate. The official site linked above carries the current figure; when we can verify it verbatim from a government page it joins the table with its source and date.
