Laravel Ecuador Validator

Laravel validation rules for Ecuadorian identification numbers. Easily validate:

• Cédula (Ecuadorian ID card)
• RUC for natural persons
• RUC for private companies
• RUC for public companies

Requirements

• PHP 8.2 or higher
• Laravel 11.x or 12.x

Introduction

This package depends on ec-validador-cedula-ruc. If you want to learn more about the validation logic, you can read the article How to validate Cédula and RUC in Ecuador (Spanish), which details the manual process.

Installation

composer require tavo1987/laravel-ec-validator

The service provider is auto-discovered by Laravel. No manual registration required.

Manual Registration (Optional)

If you have disabled auto-discovery, add the service provider to your config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    Tavo\EcLaravelValidator\EcValidatorServiceProvider::class,
];

Usage

Use the custom validation rules in your validation logic:

// Validate Cédula (ID card)
$this->validate($request, [
    'cedula' => 'ecuador:ci',
]);

// Validate RUC for natural person
$this->validate($request, [
    'ruc' => 'ecuador:ruc',
]);

// Validate RUC for public company
$this->validate($request, [
    'ruc' => 'ecuador:ruc_spub',
]);

// Validate RUC for private company
$this->validate($request, [
    'ruc' => 'ecuador:ruc_spriv',
]);

Available Rules

Using with Form Requests

<?php

namespace App\Http\Requests;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;

class StoreClientRequest extends FormRequest
{
    public function rules(): array
    {
        return [
            'cedula' => ['required', 'ecuador:ci'],
            'ruc' => ['nullable', 'ecuador:ruc'],
        ];
    }
}
