CPF and the Receita Federal

The check looks the CPF (the Brazilian taxpayer number) up at the Receita Federal and, when it matches, gives the record the ✓ RFB tag. It is available on athlete, coach and official records. These screens are in Portuguese only.

Check a record’s CPF

1. Open the person’s record.
2. Click the button next to the CPF field (tooltip: Buscar dados na Receita Federal).
3. If the CPF was already checked, the system asks whether to run a new lookup, which uses 1 credit, or reuse the previous result: choose Nova Consulta or Usar Cache.
4. When the CPF is found, a green card shows the Receita’s name, status, birthdate and sex, the source and the date of the check.

The most common errors are CPF inválido (invalid), CPF não encontrado (not found) and Receita Federal indisponível (unavailable; try again later).

Note

Each new lookup uses one of the organization’s lookup credits. Extra credits are bought on the Assinatura page (see Subscription and platform invoices).

Athletes: compare before applying

On the athlete record, the check changes nothing on its own. If the Receita returns a name, birthdate or sex that differs from the record, the window A Receita devolveu dados diferentes do cadastro opens, showing the current record next to the Receita’s data.

1. Review each line (Nome, Nascimento, Sexo).
2. If the Receita is right, click Aplicar ao cadastro: the correction is saved immediately.
3. If the record is right, click Manter cadastro.

On coach and official records, the check writes the Receita’s name, birthdate and sex straight into the record.

A different name is a warning sign

A very different name usually means the CPF typed belongs to someone else (a sibling or parent). Before applying, confirm with the family or the club.

The “Este CPF é de outra pessoa” warning

When a check finds a different person behind that CPF, the record shows the card Este CPF é de outra pessoa na Receita Federal (“this CPF belongs to another person”), with the name and birthdate held by the Receita. Nothing in the record was changed. Fix the CPF (or the name and birthdate, if the record is wrong) and check again. A matching check removes the warning.

Social name

With Nome Social turned on, the tag only confirms that the CPF matches: the registry name is not saved in the record. In the athlete comparison window, a note reminds you that applying the Receita’s name replaces the name shown at meets.
