cpf-val 1.0.1

Utility function to validate CPF (Brazilian personal ID)

Utility function/class to validate CPF (Brazilian personal ID).

CPF validation follows the official rules established by Receita Federal:

• The CPF must contain exactly 11 digits.
• All digits cannot be identical (e.g., 111.111.111-11 is considered invalid).
• The last two digits (10th and 11th) are check digits, calculated from the preceding nine digits.

Installation

$ pip install cpf-val

Import

# Using class-based resource
from cpf_val import CpfValidator

# Or using function-based one
from cpf_val import cpf_val

Usage

Object-Oriented Usage

validator = CpfValidator()
cpf = '11144477735'

print('Valid' if validator.is_valid(cpf) else 'Invalid')  # returns 'Valid'

cpf = '111.444.777-35'
print('Valid' if validator.is_valid(cpf) else 'Invalid')  # returns 'Valid'

cpf = '11144477736'
print('Valid' if validator.is_valid(cpf) else 'Invalid')  # returns 'Invalid'

Functional programming

The helper function cpf_val() is just a functional abstraction. Internally it creates an instance of CpfValidator and calls the is_valid() method right away.

cpf = '11144477735'

print('Valid' if cpf_val(cpf) else 'Invalid')      # returns 'Valid'

print('Valid' if cpf_val('111.444.777-35') else 'Invalid')  # returns 'Valid'

print('Valid' if cpf_val('11144477736') else 'Invalid')      # returns 'Invalid'

Validation Examples

# Valid CPF numbers
cpf_val('11144477735')      # returns True
cpf_val('111.444.777-35')   # returns True
cpf_val('12345678909')      # returns True

# Invalid CPF numbers
cpf_val('11144477736')      # returns False
cpf_val('12345678901')      # returns False
cpf_val('00000000000')      # returns False
cpf_val('11111111111')      # returns False
cpf_val('123')              # returns False (too short)
cpf_val('')                 # returns False (empty)

Features

• ✅ Format Agnostic: Accepts CPF with or without formatting (dots, dashes)
• ✅ Strict Validation: Validates both check digits according to Brazilian CPF algorithm
• ✅ Type Safety: Built with Python 3.10+ type hints
• ✅ Lightweight: Minimal dependencies, only requires cpf-dv for check digit calculation
• ✅ Dual API: Both object-oriented and functional programming styles supported

API Reference

CpfValidator Class

is_valid(cpf_string: str) -> bool

Validates a CPF string and returns True if valid, False otherwise.

Parameters:

• cpf_string (str): The CPF to validate (with or without formatting)

Returns:

• bool: True if the CPF is valid, False otherwise

cpf_val() Function

cpf_val(cpf_string: str) -> bool

Functional wrapper around CpfValidator.is_valid().

Parameters:

• cpf_string (str): The CPF to validate (with or without formatting)

Returns:

• bool: True if the CPF is valid, False otherwise

Validation Algorithm

The package validates CPF using the official Brazilian algorithm:

1. Length Check: Ensures the CPF has exactly 11 digits
2. Repeated Digits Check: Rejects CPFs with all digits being the same (e.g., 11111111111, 00000000000)
3. First Check Digit: Calculates and validates the 10th digit
4. Second Check Digit: Calculates and validates the 11th digit
5. Format Tolerance: Automatically strips non-numeric characters before validation

Error Handling

The validator is designed to be forgiving with input format but strict with validation:

• Invalid formats (too short, too long) return False
• Invalid check digits return False
• Empty strings return False
• Non-numeric strings (after stripping formatting) return False
• CPFs with all digits the same return False

Dependencies

• Python: >= 3.10
• cpf-dv: for check digit calculation
