The CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas) is the taxpayer registry number issued by Brazil's Federal Revenue Service, the Receita Federal, and it works as the country's de facto national identifier for individuals. Almost every adult in Brazil holds a CPF, and confirming it against the official registry is the first and most important step in a Brazilian KYC flow, which is why it sits at the centre of digital onboarding for banks, lenders, and other regulated businesses.

Verification works by querying Receita Federal services with the CPF number the person provides. The check confirms whether the number is valid and returns the registered name, date of birth, and the CPF status, such as regular, suspended, or cancelled. Because the check references the official taxpayer registry, you can confirm that the person's details match a real, active record without a document upload step.
