How do I search the company register in Brazil?
Start with Receita Federal / Juntas Comerciais (https://solucoes.receita.fazenda.gov.br/Servicos/cnpjreva/cnpjreva_solicitacao.asp) for Brazil company records. Use the supported legal-name or identifier search and inspect available fields, such as CNPJ (14-digit number), Razão social (legal name). Official searches, documents and APIs have separate access rules; LemReveal's free lookup does not remove those conditions.

Search by name or registration number
Use the exact identifier with its issuing register or jurisdiction. Name searches can return several candidates; a number is not a guarantee that the source is available or covers the record.
- 3
Read the register entry, not the marketing page
The register entry shows CNPJ (14-digit number), Razão social (legal name). That is what a bank, auditor or counterparty will check.

Keep a dated copy
Register entries change. Save the record with the date you retrieved it, or set up monitoring so you are told when the entry changes.
