The registration status indicates the current status of a company's registration with the Federal Revenue. There are 5 main types: Active, Suspended, Inactive, Closed and Null.
Active: regular and operating company. Suspended: company with pending issues that can still be regularized. Inactive (Inapta): company that has not submitted mandatory declarations for 2 years. Closed (Baixada): permanently terminated company. Null (Nula): registration cancelled due to irregularity.
Registration status can be checked on the Federal Revenue website (Registration Certificate) or through APIs like cnpj-api.com. The lookup returns the current status and the date of the last update.
For suspended or inactive companies, regularization involves submitting pending declarations and settling debts. Processing time ranges from 24 hours to 30 days.
No. After permanent closure, a new CNPJ must be opened.
