Search by name or registration number
A registration number returns exactly one entity. A name may return several, especially for groups using the same brand across entities.

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.

Only until the company files its next change. Directors, addresses and status can change without notice, which is why a dated copy — or automatic monitoring of the entry — matters for anything contractual.
