# Venezuelan tax information number (RIF) (`ve_rif`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Registro Único de Información Fiscal (RIF), the tax registration number that the Venezuelan tax administration SENIAT assigns to individuals and legal entities; before 2006 it was called Registro de Información Fiscal. It has ten characters, usually written as J-30468971-3: a letter for the kind of holder (V a Venezuelan person, E a foreign person, J a legal entity, P a passport holder, G a government body, C a communal council), eight digits (for a person, the identity card number) and a modulo 11 check digit. python-stdnum 2.2 does not accept the letter C.
