# What is CEIS?

CEIS is a Brazilian federal register of companies and people declared unfit or suspended by a public body. The comptroller general, CGU, publishes it with the tax ID, the type of sanction and its start and end dates. Testigo shows an entry on a Brazilian record when the CNPJ matches.
