Sanctions lookup by CNPJ
Six public registries in one answer, for the whole company: CEIS, CNEP, CEPIM, leniency agreements, TCU barred bidders and the CNJ misconduct registry (CNIA) — with the Federal Revenue record and the address on the map.
What each registry records
CEISRegistry of Ineligible and Suspended Companies
Companies barred from bidding or contracting with the government: suspension, impediment and declaration of ineligibility, applied by agencies at every level.
CNEPNational Registry of Punished Companies
Penalties under the Anti-Corruption Law (Law 12,846/2013), such as fines and extraordinary publication of the decision.
CEPIMBarred non-profit entities
Non-profit entities barred from signing agreements and transfer contracts with the federal government.
CGULeniency agreements
Agreements signed with companies that cooperated in investigations of acts against the public administration, with their status.
TCUBarred bidders
Companies declared ineligible by the Federal Court of Accounts to bid with the federal public administration, with the case and the ruling.
CNIACivil convictions for administrative misconduct
Court convictions for administrative misconduct (Law 8,429/1992). The CNJ does not publish the registry in bulk: it is checked by CNPJ, at the moment of each lookup.
New: sanctions in every CNPJ lookup
CEIS, CNEP, CEPIM, leniency agreements and TCU on every company record, updated daily, plus the CNJ misconduct registry (CNIA), checked live.
Questions about sanctions
How do I know whether a company has sanctions?
Type the CNPJ above: the lookup brings, in one answer, the company's records in CEIS, CNEP, CEPIM, leniency agreements and the TCU list of barred bidders — across all of its establishments — and checks the CNJ misconduct registry (CNIA) live. There are 10 free lookups a day.
What is the difference between CEIS and CNEP?
CEIS lists companies barred from bidding or contracting with the government (suspension, impediment, ineligibility), applied by agencies at every level. CNEP lists penalties under the Anti-Corruption Law (Law 12,846/2013), such as fines. Both are kept by the CGU and published on the Portal da Transparência.
What is the CNIA?
It is the National Registry of Civil Convictions for Administrative Misconduct and Ineligibility, kept by the CNJ with the convictions under Law 8,429/1992. The CNJ does not publish the registry in bulk: it is searched by CNPJ, and that is how Radar CNPJ checks it, at the moment of the lookup, through the TCU consolidated lookup.
Does the lookup replace the official certificate?
No. It gathers what the public registries publish, with the date of each snapshot, to screen suppliers and partners. For a formal procedure, issue the certificate with the issuing body — for example, the TCU consolidated certificate and the Portal da Transparência.
How often is the data updated?
CEIS, CNEP, leniency agreements and the TCU list are loaded every day; CEPIM, whenever the CGU publishes it (weekly). The CNIA is checked at the moment of the lookup. Every result shows the date of the snapshot.
Can I be notified of a new sanction?
Yes. Watch the company on Radar CNPJ: when it enters one of the registries, or when its CNIA changes, you get an e-mail. The first 10 watched companies are free.
Can I screen suppliers in bulk?
Yes. With a plan, the API answers one lookup per CNPJ with the sanctions in the `sancoes` field and the CNIA in `cnia`; the Basic plan brings 1,000 lookups for 30 days.
