Check a Brazilian Company - FREE SERVICE:
Verify Brazilian Business Information Using the CNPJ Number
Trust Brazil offers a free verification tool that allows you to access official public information about any Brazilian company using their CNPJ — the national company registration number in Brazil.
What is a CNPJ?
CNPJ – Brazilian Company Tax Identification Number
Identifies legal entities registered in Brazil through a unique 14-digit code (e.g. 00.000.000/0001-00). Required to verify any formal company in the country.
(Ask for: Número do CNPJ - Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Jurídica)
What information is included in the free CNPJ check?
When a valid CNPJ is submitted, the platform retrieves key data from official government sources, including:
• Corporate Name
• Trade Name (if available)
• Headquarters Location
• Company Size (Micro, Small, Medium, etc.)
• Main Economic Activity (CNAE)
• Secondary Economic Activities
• Legal Nature
• Full Street Address, City, State, ZIP Code
• Email and Phone Number (if publicly available)
• Registration Status (Active, Inactive, Suspended)
• Status Date
• Capital Stock (in BRL – Brazilian Reais)
All information is automatically translated into English to support international users.

This free tool is part of our broader Trust Brazil ecosystem — designed to support safer and more transparent business with Brazilian companies.
Verification of Official Certificates:
We offer a specialized service dedicated to verifying official government-issued certificates provided by Brazilian companies, in order to validate their legal, fiscal, and operational status.
Through this service, we verify the authenticity and official status of the following documents:
1 - Federal Tax and National Debt Clearance Certificate
Proves the company has no outstanding debts or tax issues with federal authorities.
(Ask for: Certidão Conjunta de Débitos Relativos a Tributos Federais e à Dívida Ativa da União)
2 - FGTS Compliance Certificate
Shows compliance with labor obligations — a key indicator of formal and lawful operations.
(Ask for: Certificado de Regularidade do FGTS)
3 - State Tax Clearance Certificate (ICMS)
Ensures no tax debts to the state — important for trade, logistics, or industry.
(Ask for: Certidão Negativa de Débitos Estaduais - ICMS)
4 - Municipal Tax Clearance Certificate (ISS)
Validates that the company is cleared of local service tax liabilities.
(Ask for: Certidão Negativa de Débitos Municipais - ISS)
5 - Bankruptcy and Judicial Recovery Certificate
Confirms that the company is not undergoing bankruptcy or court-supervised recovery.
(Ask for: Certidão de Falência e Recuperação Judicial)
Once these documents are provided by the company, Trust Brazil proceeds with independent verification of their authenticity.
All certificates are cross-checked against official public data linked to the company’s CNPJ (Brazilian business registration number), ensuring the entity is real, active, and in good standing with the relevant authorities.
This process significantly reduces the risk of fraud, misrepresentation, or dealings with shell companies — offering greater security and confidence for foreign businesses engaging with Brazilian partners.
Institutional Representation in Brazil:
We act as the official point of representation for foreign companies before Brazilian institutions, including government entities, industry associations, development agencies, and chambers of commerce. This service includes formal presentations, institutional positioning, and coordinated dialogue with key stakeholders.
Business Matchmaking and Commercial Partnerships:
We identify and facilitate commercial partnerships with Brazilian companies that align with the business profile and objectives of each foreign partner. This includes supplier scouting, client prospecting, and local distributor identification.
Trade Fairs and Matchmaking Events:
We provide technical support for participation in local and international trade fairs, including preparation of promotional materials, scheduling of meetings, logistical assistance, and personalized follow-up with potential partners. We also organize tailored business matchmaking sessions.
Public-Private Partnerships and Tenders:
We monitor and mediate opportunities for participation in Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), public tenders, and calls for proposals that may be of interest to foreign companies. Support includes identification, document review, and connection with relevant authorities or consultants.
Setup and Softlanding Support:
We provide guidance for the establishment of operations in Brazil, including referrals to trusted partners in legal, accounting, tax, and regulatory compliance. Support also covers assistance with formal registration processes and adaptation to local norms.
Product and Service Adaptation Consulting:
We help companies understand how to adapt their offerings — whether products, services, or solutions — to comply with local standards, market expectations, and consumer behavior in Brazil. This may involve labeling, pricing strategy, certifications, and more.
Market Intelligence and Sector Mapping:
We develop and provide access to market intelligence reports, including sector-specific studies, demand mapping, competitor analysis, and strategic insights. These tools help foreign companies make informed decisions and identify high-potential segments.
International Business Events with Regional Focus:
We organize and promote international business events, missions, and knowledge-sharing activities centered around the opportunities and vocations of Brazil’s interior regions. These events serve to connect global players with untapped regional potential.
Public Sector Interface and Development Agencies:
We maintain a permanent communication channel with local governments, development agencies, and institutional partners, facilitating access to public programs, incentives, and co-investment opportunities that may benefit foreign participants.
These services can be tailored to the specific interests, sector, and maturity level of each participating company. To request support or learn more about a particular service, please contact us.
