After all, how to consult the CPF by name? The CPF or Cadastro de Pessoa Física is essential for all Brazilians. The 11 digits are unique and can only be changed by court decision. That way, the number given in the act of registration will stay with you for the rest of your life.
In addition, this number is used in registrations on various platforms, such as a bank and even in public tenders. In addition, many people consult their CPF when closing a deal. That is, someone consults your CPF to find out about your financial situation. If you are negative, with debts, if you are a good payer, etc.
With that in mind, in today's article we'll show you how to check the CPF by name. So, read on and find out!
Consult CPF by person's name: step by step
To consult the CPF by name, there are only two ways available:
- Companies can query the CPF by name just to do a credit analysis. Therefore, this data cannot be disclosed;
- The CPF can be consulted directly at the Federal Revenue Service.
Below, we will list some details on ways to query the CPF by name. But it is important to remember that in some cases, it is only possible to consult your own CPF for free.
Serasa
First, Serasa offers two options for consulting the CPF. In this way, there is the possibility of consulting your own CPF. In this case, the service is free and it is still possible to check your credit score.
However, to consult the CPF of other people, it is necessary to pay for the service. Therefore, Serasa has a platform called Você Consult. For the value of R$35 you can find important information with the CPF numbers. See some of the information available from the register:
- If the person is negative;
- Judicial issues;
- Bad checks;
- Status at the Federal Revenue Service;
- Participation in bankruptcy.
IRS
In addition, querying the CPF by the name of the person at the Federal Revenue Service can be difficult. The process is simpler if you have other data regarding the person. That way, if you only have the name, the most recommended thing is to attend a post. That is, resolve this in person with the Federal Revenue.
SPC
In addition, through the SPC it is also possible to consult the CPF by name. However, this service is also paid. In this sense, the SPC or Credit Protection Service processes and stores all purchase information. In this way, the SPC has access to credit analyses. Mainly by understanding your buying patterns, whether you pay your bills on time or not, etc.
Therefore, to consult the CPF by Name in the SPC, it is necessary to pay for the service. Furthermore, this service is found on the SPC Brasil website. There you can make the query both through the website and the application. In both options, the query can be made directly by the name of the person. That is, after the consultation you can already see possible debts in the name of the person.
As well as other forms that we present, Correios also offers a paid CPF query service by name. Therefore, the institution charges an amount of R$14 for its CPF and R$21.60 for the CPF of third parties.
However, in the case of Correios, you need your CPF number to carry out the query. That way, you'll get information such as debts, bad checks, lawsuits, bankruptcy claims, among other things.
By mother's name
Finally, if you are looking to consult the CPF by name, perhaps you can also consider the mother's name. However, most likely you will also need your CPF or RG number. After all, with just the name of the person or the mother, it would be very easy to make the query. And these procedures need a certain amount of security.
How do you know if someone consulted your CPF by name?
Incidentally, there are some platforms that help you even more with this security. This is because it is not good for the CPF to be disclosed to a large number of people. Therefore, if a leak occurs, the CPF can be used for scams. In this way, some platforms are working to reinforce security in this register. For example, some protection tools notify the registration holder when their CPF is consulted.
Attention! Be careful who you share your CPF with
In addition, it is worth mentioning that when consulting a CPF, that information cannot be used for disclosure. That is, the information is confidential and its leakage can generate fraud and scams in people's names. So be careful who and where you put your CPF. By the way, if this number leaks, the scams can be different. From opening a company with your registration, to making purchases and loans with your CPF.
So remember to protect your CPF and not give it to just anyone. Furthermore, in the recommended article below we explain how to consult the CPF through Serasa. Read on to find out more about this topic we're covering today!
