How do I get an official company extract in Brazil?
Start with Receita Federal / Juntas Comerciais at https://solucoes.receita.fazenda.gov.br/Servicos/cnpjreva/cnpjreva_solicitacao.asp to identify the entity and available cartão CNPJ. An ordinary extract, historical filing and certified copy are different documents. Check the recipient's requirements and official access conditions before ordering. A LemReveal PDF is not a government-certified extract.
Step-by-step
- 1
Confirm the entity first
Search by name or registration number and confirm you have the right legal entity before paying for anything.
- 2
Choose the evidence required
Ask the recipient whether it needs an ordinary extract, historical filing, certified copy, translation or legalisation. A free summary is not automatically sufficient.

Follow the official document route
Use https://solucoes.receita.fazenda.gov.br/Servicos/cnpjreva/cnpjreva_solicitacao.asp to find the issuing authority or authorised service and its current fees. Check what the document actually certifies.

Check the issue date
Ask what issue date the recipient accepts; there is no universal three-month validity period. Retain the issue date, retrieval date and source.
Frequently asked questions

Compare available public information with official document options and the recipient's requirements. Free lookup does not guarantee complete or certified evidence.

Contents vary by document. Check whether it covers current identity, officers, representation or historical filings. A registration certificate does not necessarily describe today's appointments.

No. It is a third-party research record. Obtain an official or certified document through the relevant authority or authorised service when required.

CNPJ (Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Jurídica) is a 14-digit identifier assigned to every Brazilian business by the Receita Federal. Format: XX.XXX.XXX/XXXX-XX. The first 8 digits identify the company, digits 9-12 identify the branch (0001 = headquarters), and the last 2 are check digits.
