  print "ok " if test_cnpj('90.117.749/7654-80'); # prints 'ok '

DESCRIPTION

The \s-1CNPJ\s0 number is an identification number of Brazilian companies emitted by the Brazilian Ministry of Revenue, which is called \*(L"Ministe\*'rio da Fazenda\*(R".

\s-1CNPJ\s0 stands for \*(L"Cadastro Nacional de Pessoa Juri\*'dica\*(R" (literally, national juridical person registration) as opposed to the \s-1CPF\s0 number for natural persons. Sometime ago, it was called \s-1CGC\s0 (\*(L"Cadastro Geral de Contribuinte\*(R" or general taxpayer registration).

The \s-1CNPJ\s0 is comprised of a base of 8 digits, a 4-digits radical and 2 check digits. It is usually written like '11.111.111/0001-55' so as to be more human-readable.

This module provides \*(C`test_cnpj\*(C' for checking that a \s-1CNPJ\s0 number is correct. Here a correct \s-1CNPJ\s0 number means

  • it is 14 digits long

  • it satisfies the two check equations mentioned below

Before checking, any non-digit letter is stripped, making it easy to test formatted entries like '11.111.111/0001-55' and entries with extra blanks like ' 43.337.004 / 0001-72 '.

test_cnpj

test_cnpj('48.999.764/0001-60') # incorrect CPF, returns 0 test_cnpj(' 43.337.004/0001-72 ') # is ok, returns 1 test_cnpj('888') # nope, returns undef Tests whether a \s-1CNPJ\s0 number is correct. Before testing, any non-digit character is stripped. Then it is expected to be 14 digits long and to satisfy two check equations which validate the last two check digits. See \*(L"\s-1THE\s0 \s-1CHECK\s0 \s-1EQUATIONS\s0\*(R". The policy to get rid of '.', '/' and '-' is very liberal. It indeeds discards anything that is not a digit (0, 1, ..., 9) or letter. That is handy for discarding spaces as well. test_cnpj(' 66.818.021/0001-27 ') # is ok, returns 1 But extraneous inputs like 'a53##045%4-20**0001!50' are also accepted. If you are worried about this kind of input, just check against a regex: warn "bad CNPJ: only digits (14) expected" unless ($cnpj =~ /^\d{14}$/);

warn "bad CNPJ: does not match mask '_\|_._\|_\|_._\|_\|_/_\|_\|_\|_-_\|_'" unless ($cnpj =~ /^\d{2}\.\d{3}\.\d{3}/\d{4}-\d{2}$/); \s-1NOTE\s0. Integer numbers like 3337004000158 (or 3_337_004_0001_58) with fewer than 14 digits will be normalized (eg. to 03_337_004_0001_58) before testing.

canon_cnpj

canon_cnpj(1); # returns '00000000000001' canon_cnpj('99.999.222/0001-12'); # returns '99999222000112' Canon's a candidate for a \s-1CNPJ\s0 number. In case, the argument is an integer, it is formatted to at least fourteen digits. Otherwise, it is stripped of any non-alphanumeric characters and returned as it is.

format_cnpj

format_cnpj('00 000 000 0000 00'); # returns '00.000.000/0000-00' Formats its input into '00.000.000/0000-00' mask. First, the argument is canon'ed and then dots, slash and hyphen are added to the first 14 digits of the result.

parse_cnpj

($base, $filial, $dv) = parse_cnpj($cpf); $hashref = parse_cnpj('11.222.333/4444-00'); # { base => '11222333', filial => '4444' dv => '00' } Splits a candidate for \s-1CNPJ\s0 number into base, radical and check digits (dv - di\*'gitos de verificac\*,a\*~o). It canon's the argument before splitting it into 8-, 4- and 2-digits parts. In a list context, returns a three-element list with the base, the radical and the check digits. In a scalar context, returns a hash ref with keys 'base', 'filial' and 'dv' and associated values.

random_cnpj

$rand_cnpj = random_cnpj($valid);

$good_cnpj = random_cnpj(); $cnpj = random_cnpj(1); # also a good one $bad_cnpj = random_cnpj(0); # bad CNPJ Generates a random \s-1CNPJ\s0. If $valid is omitted or 1, it is guaranteed to be correct. If $valid is 0, it is guaranteed to be incorrect. This function is intented for mass test. (Use it wisely.) The implementation is: generate a 8-digits random number for the base, and the variation is chosen 95% of the time to be '0001' and the other 5% a skewed random distribution with the expression \*(C`int(sqr rand(1E8))\*(C' is used. A uniform distribution is expected from \*(C`rand\*(C'. With the base and variation, the check digits are computed. If $valid==0, the check digits are computed not to satisfy the check equations.

\s-1EXPORT\s0

\*(C`test_cnpj\*(C' is exported by default. \*(C`canon_cnpj\*(C', \*(C`format_cnpj\*(C', \*(C`parse_cnpj\*(C' and \*(C`random_cnpj\*(C' can be exported on demand.

THE CHECK EQUATIONS

A correct \s-1CNPJ\s0 number has two check digits which are computed from the 12 first digits. Consider the \s-1CNPJ\s0 number written as 14 digits

c[1] c[2] c[3] c[4] c[5] c[6] c[7] c[8] c[9] c[10] c[11] c[12] dv[1] dv[2]

To check whether a \s-1CNPJ\s0 is correct or not, it has to satisfy the check equations:

5*c[1]+4*c[2]+3*c[3]+2*c[4]+9*c[5]+ 8*c[6]+7*c[7]+6*c[8]+5*c[9]+4*c[10]+ 3*c[11]+2*c[12]+dv[1] = 0 (mod 11) or = 1 (mod 11) (if dv[1]=0)

and

6*c[1]+5*c[2]+4*c[3]+3*c[4]+2*c[5]+ 9*c[6]+8*c[7]+7*c[8]+6*c[9]+5*c[10]+ 4*c[11]+3*c[12]+2*dv[1]+dv[2] = 0 (mod 11) or = 1 (mod 11) (if dv[2]=0)

BUGS

I heard that there are exceptions of \s-1CNPJ\s0 numbers which don't obey the check equations and are still authentic. I have never found one of them.

RELATED TO Business::BR::CNPJ…

To make sure this module works, one can try the results obtained against those found with \*(L"Emissa\*~o de Comprovante de Inscric\*,a\*~o e de Situac\*,a\*~o Cadastral de Pessoa Juri\*'dica\*(R", a web page which the Brazilian Ministry of Revenue provides for public consultation on regularity status of the taxpayer. This page tells if the \s-1CNPJ\s0 number is a correct entry (14-digits-long with verified check digits), if it references a real company and if it is regular with the government body.

Given a bad \s-1CNPJ\s0, the after-submit page tells \*(L"O nu\*'mero do \s-1CNPJ\s0 na\*~o e\*' va\*'lido\*(R" (the \s-1CNPJ\s0 number is not valid). If the \s-1CNPJ\s0 is a good one but does not reference a real company, it says \*(L"\s-1CNPJ\s0 na\*~o existe em nossa base de dados\*(R" (\s-1CNPJ\s0 does not exist in our database). Otherwise, it shows a details form for the identified taxpayer.

Note that this module only tests correctness. It doesn't enter the merit whether the \s-1CNPJ\s0 number actually exists at the Brazilian government databases.

As you might have guessed, this is not the first Perl module to approach this kind of functionality. Take a look at

Please reports bugs via \s-1CPAN\s0 \s-1RT\s0, http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?Dist=Business-BR-Ids By doing so, the author will receive your reports and patches, as well as the problem and solutions will be documented.
