NIT (Bolivia)
Bolivian Número de Identificación Tributaria: an identifier of up to 12 digits issued by SIN, with no standard check digit.
The Bolivian NIT (Número de Identificación Tributaria) is the identifier the Servicio de Impuestos Nacionales (SIN) assigns to taxpayers — both natural persons and legal entities — registered in the tax roster. Structure: a variable number between 7 and 12 digits with no separators, with no formal check digit. For natural persons it often matches the Cédula de Identidad; for companies it's a sequential number assigned at registration. Differences from the Colombian NIT: - **NIT Colombia**: 9 digits + check digit (modulo 11), issued by DIAN. - **NIT Bolivia**: up to 12 digits, no check digit, issued by SIN. This divergence matters: many systems assume "NIT = 9 digits + check digit" because that's the Colombian format, and reject valid Bolivian NITs. Normadata maintains separate validators per country to avoid this error. Format validation of the Bolivian NIT is limited to numeric range and length. Verifying taxpayer existence and status requires querying the SIN portal (a public web page with no official API).
