Sanctions screening by CNPJ, from the company to its shareholders
One lookup crosses nine official public sources for the company and for every person on the cap table. Every record comes with the issuing authority and the last sync date, so you can check at the source.
Nine sources in a single lookup
Administrative sanctions, public-procurement bans, director debarments, regulatory penalties, registered debts, insolvency proceedings. And not only for the company: the same lookup answers for shareholders and directors, because a restriction on a person never shows up in the company's record. The exception is reorganization and bankruptcy, which applies only to the company: a shareholder does not file for reorganization. The screen also flags Politically Exposed Persons on the cap table, as a compliance indicator, kept apart from the sanctions.
The work is in the matching. The same person is spelled differently in each source, and the public taxpayer ID comes partially masked. Identification requires a compatible name on top of the document, and that is what turns nine loose lists into an answer.
Three colours, three different claims
Active sanction
A restriction in force today: an active fine, a ban under way, a debarment still within its term. It is the only reading that asserts an active sanction.
On record, check it
The record exists, but the source does not allow asserting its current status. A proceeding under way never turns red: that would turn an accusation into a sanction.
Possible namesake
A similar record exists, but the public data is not enough to assert it is the same person. Shown rather than hidden, on purpose.
What the lookup does not do
All information comes from public sources maintained by official bodies, selected and cross-referenced by us. Every tab states the update date and what the lookup does not cover. When a source is unavailable, we say it is unavailable. We never turn missing data into nothing on record.
We give no grade or score, and we do not cover proprietary bureau data such as default records. We cover the public record, which you can verify at the source. Before any adverse decision about a person, confirm the identity and the record with the authority indicated.
Frequently asked questions
Does the lookup cover shareholders?
Yes. The same lookup answers for the company and for every person on the cap table, because a restriction on a person never shows up in the company's record. The exception is reorganization and bankruptcy, which applies only to the company. The taxpayer ID is never shown in full, and identification requires a compatible name on top of the document.
What is the difference between red and amber?
Red is an active sanction, in force today. Amber is a record that exists without the source allowing its current status to be asserted. A proceeding under way never appears in red: that would turn an accusation into a sanction.
How often do the sources update?
It depends on the publishing authority: some sources change daily, others twice a year. Every tab shows the last sync date, so you always know how old what you are reading is.
Can I query it through the API?
Yes. One call consolidates the nine sources for a company, in the same shape as the screen. It works in Excel's Power Query, in a CRM or BI tool, and over MCP inside Claude. Documentation at monitore.ai/docs.
