## FAQ

### What is a CNPJ?

The fourteen-digit number every Brazilian legal entity carries, issued by the Receita Federal. It identifies the company on invoices, contracts and the register itself.

### Can I search by company name?

Yes. Type the name as you know it and the search ranks the nearest candidates, each carrying its CNPJ, status and address to pick from.

### Does the result show the activity code?

The search returns the identity fields. The CNAE activity codes and the administrative detail come back with the company profile once you have the number.
