Sundde declared the Rupdae certificate has indefinite validity, effective immediately.

The measure is intended to advance digital transformation and administrative speed, reducing duplicate requirements.

Rupdae updates will only be required if a business modifies its RIF.

The decision is based on Article 10 of the Law for Administrative Speed and Optimization, published in Official Gazette No. 7,018 Extraordinary on April 8, 2026.

The Sundde's declaration that the Rupdae certificate now has indefinite validity, effective immediately, is a significant administrative reform signal. This measure, aimed at advancing digital transformation and administrative speed by reducing duplicate requirements, aligns with the objectives of the Ley Orgánica para la Celeridad y Optimización de Trámites Administrativos. However, the claim is merely asserted with no corroboration in our corpus (evidence_count: 0), and the source, El Cooperante, is unclassified, meaning its reliability is not established. Therefore, this should be treated as an unverified report requiring confirmation from official channels.

The policy's condition that Rupdae updates will only be required if a business modifies its RIF ties the certificate's validity to the RIF, which is managed by Seniat. This creates a dependency on Seniat's regulations, as any change to RIF validity could indirectly affect the Rupdae certificate. The reference to the Gaceta Oficial N.º 7.018 Extraordinario and N.º 43.435 suggests that the measure may be published in official gazettes, but without direct evidence, the legal basis remains unclear. The mention of the Ley Orgánica de Precios Justos indicates that the Rupdae is linked to price regulation, but the specific implications for businesses are not detailed.

To elevate this from an asserted claim to a corroborated fact, we would need official publication in the Gaceta Oficial or a statement from Sundde. Falsifiers include: if any government entity does not accept the certificate as valid indefinitely within 90 days, or if Seniat issues a new regulation reinstating an expiration date for the RIF within 90 days. Monitoring these indicators would provide concrete evidence to confirm or refute the reported measure.
