# How do I check a supplier in Brazil?

Ask the supplier for its CNPJ, the tax ID, and read it against the official lists. Testigo holds 3 lists for Brazil that are read by CNPJ: CEIS: empresas inidôneas e suspensas (CGU, 2026-10-02, 9,633); CNEP: empresas punidas (CGU, 2026-10-02, 1,016); Cadastro de empregadores: trabalho análogo ao de escravo (MTE, 2026-09-28, 184). Each list shows its publisher and edition date. An empty result is not a clean bill of health: it covers those lists and editions only.
