Brazilian federal open data, free to use under Decree 8.777/2016, Art. 4 (as amended by Decree 9.903/2019); registers are not protected by copyright (Lei 9.610/1998, Art. 8, V) ↗ Terms of use ↗

Changes

Selected fields are reformatted into CorporateDB's schema and statuses are mapped to its status vocabulary. Individual entrepreneurs (including every MEI) and every other natural-person form are withheld. EIRELI single-person enterprises and single-lawyer firms (Sociedade Unipessoal de Advocacia) are legal persons, but each belongs to one holder, whose name an EIRELI usually carries and a single-lawyer firm must carry by law (Lei 8.906/1994, Art. 16), so they are withheld too. So are employer consortia, registered under a member's name, Inova Simples registrations, which one founder can open without forming a company, and, as a precaution, other condominiums. Entries of unstated form, current MEI opt-ins, companies whose name contains a CPF, an email address or a phone number, and estates of deceased people are also withheld, as are partners (sócios), their partial CPFs, legal representatives, the responsible person's qualification, establishment phone, fax and email details, and any trade name or address field into which a CPF, an email address or a phone number was typed. Closed (baixada) and annulled (nula) registrations are not collected. Each company combines its CNPJ base record with the address and status of its head office (matriz); its other establishments (filiais) are separate records.

Dates

The edition date is the day Receita Federal last wrote a file of the monthly folder to its file share. The activity start date (data de início da atividade) is the CNPJ opening date of the establishment, which is not necessarily the date a company was constituted, so it is shown as an activity start date and never as an incorporation date. Status dates are the register's own.
