Frequently asked questions

Get the company's registration status, public sanctions and federal tax debt in one free response, with source dates. Receita, four CGU sanction registries, the TCU list and PGFN debt are already joined by CNPJ. Check the company without consulting and combining each source separately.

No. Search, basic company records and postal code records are free. Use /api/consulta/cadastro/:cnpj for a company and /api/consulta/endereco/:cep for a postal code. On /consulta, request sanctions and tax analysis separately. The allowance and packages apply to that analysis, not to opening a company.

It shows available CEIS, CNEP, CEPIM, leniency agreement and TCU barred-bidder records, with each source date. Additional lookup also attempts a CNJ misconduct registry (CNIA) check through TCU. In the API, you can require this check during the request: if the source fails, the lookup refuses without charging. In the batch, this option accepts groups of up to four companies; without the requirement, it uses stored CNIA. Absence from these registries does not prove the absence of every restriction.

Yes. Every record brings the whole company's federal tax debt (dívida ativa da União) from the quarterly PGFN snapshot — the total as main debtor and as co-obligor, the debts already in court, the kind (social security, FGTS and other) and the largest entries with the tax —, the installment plans at the Federal Revenue, the tax regime declared in the ECF (actual, presumed or arbitrated profit, immune or exempt) and the tax benefits (special regimes, IRPJ/CSLL waivers, those declared in the DIRBI and the import tax waivers published on the Transparency Portal). Through the API: `dividaAtiva`, `parcelamentos`, `regimeTributario` and `beneficiosFiscais`.

Yes. Every record checks the whole company against the Federal Revenue list of chronic tax debtors (devedores contumazes, Complementary Law 225/2026), checked daily. A company on the list is barred from public tenders. The record shows the qualification date, the declaratory act in the Federal Official Gazette and the list date, and whoever monitors the company is alerted when it enters or leaves the list. Through the API and the MCP: the `devedorContumaz` field.

Yes. Every record brings the construction works the company is responsible for in the CNO, the Federal Revenue's National Construction Registry — as builder, project owner, developer or property owner —, with the address, area, start date and status (active, stalled or finished), from the monthly snapshot. Through the API: the `obras` field.

Yes. Every record brings the whole company's social and environmental risk: whether any establishment is on the MTE Register of Employers (the slave labour list), with the workers, the inspection, the listing date and the expected removal; the Ibama embargoes in force, with the embargoed area, and the lifted ones; and the Ibama infraction notices, with the total of fines since 1995 and the latest ones. The databases are checked daily, and whoever monitors the company is alerted of a new notice, embargo or listing. Through the API: the `ambiental` and `trabalhoEscravo` fields.

Yes. Every record brings the whole company's contracts published in the PNCP (National Public Procurement Portal) — federal, state and municipal —: how many and how much, those of the last 12 months, the five agencies that hired it the most and the ten latest contracts, with the object, the value, the dates and the PNCP link. Through the API: `governo`.

Yes. Every record brings the whole company's registrations with regulators: the ANTT RNTRC (road freight carrier), the ANP fuel retailer authorization (with the brand), the CVM listed company, the Central Bank authorized institution and the ANS health plan operator — the number, the status and since when. The databases are checked daily, and whoever monitors the company is alerted when a registration changes status. Through the API: `registros`.

Yes. Every record adds up the federal government's bank orders to the whole company in the last 12 months, from the Transparency Portal, with the number of payments, the latest one and the five agencies that paid the most. The database is checked daily, with the days CGU publishes (about four days behind). Through the API: `pagamentos`.

Yes. Every record adds up the electronic sales invoices the whole company issued to federal agencies in the 12 months up to the latest month published by the CGU, with the number of invoices, the five units that bought the most and the total for each year since 2021 — sale items only, without shipments, returns or cancelled invoices. It also brings the federal government contracts since 2013 from the Transparency Portal: how many, how much, since when and the latest ones, the history from before the PNCP. Both databases are checked every three days; in the batch, invoice sales in 12 months and federal contracts become spreadsheet columns.

Yes. Every record adds up the expenses the candidates' campaigns contracted from the whole company since 2018, from the accounts filed with the TSE: how many campaigns and how much, the total for each election, the campaigns' parties and the largest contracts, with the candidate, the office, the party and the place. Only the company counts as a supplier — individuals, other candidates' campaigns and parties are left out. The database is checked daily, and the 2026 election comes in when the TSE publishes it; in the batch, campaigns and value become spreadsheet columns.

Yes, for the 644 São Paulo state municipalities audited by the TCE-SP (the capital has its own court): how much city halls, councils and municipal agencies paid and committed to the whole company, year by year since 2008, in how many municipalities, the agencies that paid the most, what they bought and through which procurement method. The database is checked weekly; whoever monitors the company is alerted of a sale to a new agency, and in the batch the latest year's payments become a spreadsheet column.

Yes. The CVM funds the company administers, manages, audits or holds in custody, with the net assets of each role and the largest ones — and, when the CNPJ is a fund, the fund itself; the aircraft registered at ANAC in its name, as owner or operator, with the model and the lien; and whether it is a registered federal government supplier (SICAF) qualified to bid. Funds and aircraft are checked daily, SICAF weekly, and monitoring alerts on changes.

It shows the non-automatic ones, direct and through a lending bank, which BNDES publishes with the client's CNPJ: how many contracts, how much was contracted and disbursed, the active ones and the latest operations, with the product and the project. Automatic operations, through banks, do not identify the client and are left out. Through the API: `bndes`.

Yes. Every record checks the company's partners against the CGU list of politically exposed persons (Transparency Portal), updated monthly: who is on it, with the name abbreviated, and each post — councillor, mayor, congressman, head of an agency —, with the body, since when and whether in office or in the five-year grace period after leaving. It is the check that anti-money-laundering rules require for customers and suppliers; whoever monitors the company is alerted when a partner joins the list. Through the API: `pep`.

Yes. On Radar CNPJ, paste up to 200 CNPJs on the lookup page (or send them to `POST /api/consulta/lote`) and get a report with one line per company — the status at the Federal Revenue, the sanctions in force, the federal tax debt, installment plans, tax regime, tax benefits and construction works — and the spreadsheet for Excel. Each CNPJ is one lookup from the plan balance; those not in the base are not charged, and the balance is the same on all three portals.

Basic company and postal code records are free and do not use your balance. Additional analysis has 10 free uses a day. Then the one-off pack costs R$ 5.00 for 200 analyses over 90 days. The 30-day packs include 1,000 (R$ 19.90), 5,000 (R$ 59.90) or 20,000 uses (R$ 199.90). Checkout appears when you request a paid feature. No automatic renewal.

Yes. The balance stays with your account (or the credit wallet that paid) and is the same on Radar CNPJ, PontoFato and EditalMD, on the page and through the API.

HTML pages are free for people, without an API quota. Crawlers read them free up to 1 page per second per crawler family and site; above that, the response offers the paid data or asks search crawlers to wait. Structured API reads have 1,000 free reads per day, IP and product. Above that, US$0.10 buys 1,000 shared reads for 30 days, without automatic renewal. Document access, OCR and AI have separate prices.

The result counts establishments by activity and by the scope shown: municipality, state or Brazil. Districts are not counted separately. The lookup shows when it was made and, when available, the reference date of the records.

It is an automatic classification by bands of company counts, shown in the interpretation details. It does not demonstrate economic saturation, demand or viability. Openings count companies opened in the 12 months before the lookup that are still active; closures use the date of the registration status in that period.

No. Radar counts the companies registered in that activity and in that place. Search volume, cost per click, customer demand and income are not here, and the record says so in every result.

Enter a CNPJ, company name, partner name, phone with area code or email in the same field. No account is required. Suggestions appear as you type. Use the arrow keys and Enter, or click a company. Phone and email searches use the establishment's registered contacts. Records include company details, activities, address and partners. Individual partner names, the name of an individual entrepreneur and contacts stay masked until a paid reveal. Check the source date; the record is not a certificate.

The first CNPJ is free. To watch more companies, the monitored portfolio covers up to 100 companies: by card, it renews every month until you cancel; by Pix, it lasts 30 days. Work stays in this browser until you link it to your account. After linking, alerts also reach your verified email. When the portfolio ends, the companies beyond the quota are paused and their alerts wait; your account gets one email, and the Watch tab reactivates the paused ones. Monitoring detects company, sanctions and tax record changes in the available sources.

Search and basic company records are free and do not use your balance. Additional sanctions and tax analysis has 10 free uses a day, then uses a package. Contact reveals require a paid package. Bulk reports, dossiers, the monitored portfolio and extra catalog volume have their own conditions. Checkout appears when you request a paid feature and keeps the free result visible.

It is a report of the available public records about a company. It brings together registration, partners, contacts when available and risk alerts. Check each record's date. You can save the report as PDF. On the site, the price shows before you pay, per company and with no subscription; agents and the API pay US$ 0.01 per company. With the same prepaid credit, reopening the same company on the same day has no new charge. The report does not replace official certificates.

In the record, tap the hidden name or Reveal contacts. A reveal uses one lookup from a paid package. If you have no balance, select a package in the dialog. The record reveals the data after purchase. Reopening the same company on the same Brasília day does not use another lookup.

Yes. The /empresas/ catalog lists the active establishments of the base by state, municipality and main activity (CNAE), with a public page per CNPJ — in HTML, JSON, Markdown and OKF, with a complete sitemap for search engines. The catalog page describes the company; partner list and contact stay in the app's record, masked until the reveal.

No. Search and open records for free. You can try one watch as a visitor. Link your work to your account to recover it on other devices and receive alerts by email.

At /en/noticias, without an account. Each article gives its date and sources. Portuguese, English, Markdown, RSS and JSON versions are available.

Yes. Choose one of four weekly packages at /parceria. Select a period from the catalogue or subscribe with a weekly card charge. Check the total and upload your artwork. Payment precedes approval. Cancel renewal from your account. Partnerships and custom campaigns use the separate form.
