Brazilian CNPJ lookup
Enter a Brazilian CNPJ (company ID) and see public company data straight from Receita Federal — legal name, status, address, activity codes, and partner list.
Source: Brazil`s public federal CNPJ registry via BrasilAPI, updated every ~90 days. For real-time registration status, check the official Receita Federal portal.
About the data
The returned data comes from the public Brazilian federal CNPJ registry, published as a quarterly dump at [dadosabertos.rfb.gov.br/CNPJ](https://dadosabertos.rfb.gov.br/CNPJ/). The lookup is done via [BrasilAPI](https://brasilapi.com.br), a public, free service that maintains an indexed mirror of this dataset.
What you will see: legal name, trade name, registration status (active, cancelled, suspended, unfit), incorporation date, primary and secondary activity codes (CNAE), full address, share capital, legal form, company size, and the corporate and management structure (QSA — partners and administrators).
What you will NOT see: real-time data. The public registry is updated approximately every 90 days, so a CNPJ issued yesterday may not yet appear. For real-time registration status questions, always check the official Receita Federal portal.
Why this matters for compliance and credit: before closing any contract with a Brazilian company, validating the federal registration status is a basic KYC/due diligence step. A "cancelled" company can no longer contract in its own name, and an "unfit" company has severe restrictions. This tool serves for the initial check — for lawsuit due diligence (whether the company has court cases, labor claims, enforcement actions, etc.), use Vigilant.
