The CPF number (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas, Portuguese for "Natural Persons Register") is the Brazilian individual taxpayer registry identification. This number is attributed by the Brazilian Federal Revenue to Brazilians and resident aliens who, directly or indirectly, pay taxes in Brazil.
It is an 11-digit number in the format 000.000.000/00.
The CNPJ number is the Brazilian company taxpayer registry identification. This number is attributed by the Brazilian Federal Revenue to Brazilians and resident aliens who, directly or indirectly, pay taxes in Brazil.
