CNPJ Lookup – Brazil Company Data (Consulta CNPJ em Lote)

CNPJ lookup for Brazilian companies, in bulk: paste a list (or a spreadsheet column) of CNPJs and get clean Brazil company data — legal name (razão social), trade name (nome fantasia), registration status (situação cadastral), CNAE activities, full address, email, phones, QSA partners (sócios), Simples Nacional / MEI, share capital, company size and company age.

Data comes from the Receita Federal open dataset (Dados Abertos CNPJ) via two public mirrors (BrasilAPI → minhareceita.org) with automatic failover. No login, no proxy, no scraping of the Receita website. Use it as a no-code tool or as a CNPJ API through the Apify API.

What does this Brazilian company search do?

• 💸 Pay only for companies found – invalid check digits and not-found CNPJs are free.
• ✅ Check-digit validation before any request; duplicates are looked up once.
• 🔁 Failover + retries with exponential backoff on 429/5xx; configurable concurrency and delay (rate limiting).
• 📋 Spreadsheet friendly – flat fields + one row per input (errors included), export to CSV/Excel/JSON.
• 🧮 Derived fields: isActive, companyAgeYears, partnersCount, isHeadquarters.

Use cases: B2B lead enrichment, KYC/KYB & supplier onboarding, CRM cleanup, credit/compliance checks, market mapping by CNAE.

FAQ

Is this CNPJ lookup legal?

Yes. CNPJ registration data is public by law and published by Receita Federal as open data. Partner CPFs are masked at the source. Use personal data (partner names, emails) in compliance with LGPD.

How fresh is the Receita Federal data?

As fresh as the monthly Receita Federal open-data release used by the mirrors.

Can I use it as a CNPJ API?

Yes. Run the Actor via the Apify API (or n8n, Make, Zapier) and read results from the dataset in JSON, CSV or Excel.

Which partner (QSA) fields are returned?

For each partner: name, role, since and ageRange, plus partnersCount.

What happens if a source is down?

Each lookup retries with exponential backoff on 429/5xx and then fails over to the second mirror. If both fail, the row gets SOURCES_UNAVAILABLE and is not charged.

Does it support the alphanumeric CNPJ (2026)?

Current version validates numeric CNPJs; alphanumeric support is on the roadmap.
