A MEI — microempreendedor individual — is a single person carrying a CNPJ under Brazil's simplest, revenue-capped regime. Freelancers, drivers and small traders bill through MEIs by the millions, and the record behind each one is fully checkable. Order the official record for any MEI: holder, status, activities and address, in minutes.

MEI was built to formalise micro-business, so verification is deliberately easy: the CNPJ record shows the holder, the opening date, the permitted activities and the live cadastral status. What it also reveals is scale — the regime caps revenue, so a "company" quoting enterprise-sized deals from a MEI registration is telling you something.
Status churn is the norm here: MEIs are cancelled in bulk for non-payment of the monthly contribution, and many holders never notice. A live check beats any cached list.
The official record for the MEI's CNPJ — name and holder, number, opening date, cadastral status, activities and address as published — delivered as structured data plus a branded PDF by email in minutes. From €9.99, no account.
It is an individual entrepreneur with a CNPJ, not a company with separate partners — the register ties the number directly to one person under a capped-revenue regime. For you, that means the counterparty is effectively the person, at micro scale.
Because MEI CNPJs are opened and abandoned in huge numbers, and a baixada or inapta status means the registration is dead while the invoice template lives on. The cadastral-status field settles it in one glance.
The record's legal nature identifies the individual-entrepreneur form, and the name typically embeds the holder's personal name. If a supplier claims to be a Ltda but the CNPJ resolves to a MEI, the mismatch itself is the finding.
