direct prerequisitefor issuing the RUC tax ID and tax card

We manage the process of issuing the Paraguayan identity card, handling the steps and formalities with the relevant offices. It's practically impossible to move your life forward in Paraguay without it. The ID card (cédula) is requirement number one to open a bank account, sign contracts, buy property, and obtain a tax ID.

Almost no Paraguayan bank opens an account with a foreign passport alone, the cédula is required nearly universally. That's why we treat its issuance as the top priority right after residency approval, avoiding the cascade of delays it typically causes across every other process (banking, tax, real estate).

What's included

  • Review of the documents needed for the application
  • Scheduling and in-person support when needed
  • Follow-up on the process through to issuance
  • Guidance on renewal and duplicate copies
  • Support in case of pending items or additional requirements
