It can trace its history back to the foundation of the first Chilean postal service in 1747,[1] but was created as a state-owned enterprise by the DFL N° 10, December 24 of 1981, dissolving the previous SOE Servicio de Correos y Telégrafos (lit. 'Post and Telegraph Service'), separating mailing and Telex services, founding Telex-Chile (that was extinguished as a service following the rise of the internet, but still exists legally as enterprise, providing other telecommunications services). It is administratively under the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications.
