Documents validator (CNPJ numeric and alphanumeric)

docs-validator

A lightweight Python library for validating and generating document numbers, starting with Brazilian documents.

The project focuses on:

• CPF validation
• CNPJ validation
• Experimental alphanumeric CNPJ
• Automatic document detection
• Document generators
• CLI usage
• PyPI distribution
• CI/CD and test coverage

---

Installation

pip install docs-validator

For development:

git clone https://github.com/thinkbruno/docs-validator
cd docs-validator

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

pip install -e .

---

Quick Usage

from docs_validator import validate

validate("52998224725")
validate("11222333000181")

---

API Overview

Generic Validation

The validate() function automatically detects the document type.

from docs_validator import validate

validate("52998224725")       # CPF
validate("11222333000181")    # CNPJ

---

Auto Detection

from docs_validator import detect

detect("52998224725")
detect("11222333000181")
detect("12ABC34501DE35")

Possible results:

CPF
CNPJ
CNPJ_ALPHANUMERIC

---

CPF Validation

from docs_validator import validate_cpf

validate_cpf("52998224725")

---

CNPJ Validation

from docs_validator import validate_cnpj

validate_cnpj("11222333000181")

---

Generators

Generate valid documents for testing environments.

from docs_validator import generate_cpf, generate_cnpj

generate_cpf()
generate_cnpj()

Example:

41799543807
30167399000130

---

Experimental: Alphanumeric CNPJ

Brazil's tax authority announced a future format allowing alphanumeric CNPJ identifiers.

The library includes an experimental validator for this format.

from docs_validator import validate

validate("12ABC34501DE35", mode="experimental")

⚠️ Important

As of 2026, no real alphanumeric CNPJs are publicly issued.

Any example used in tests or documentation is synthetic and only intended to validate the algorithm.

---

CLI Usage

After installation:

docs-validator validate 52998224725
docs-validator validate 11222333000181

Example output:

VALID

Example Test Script

from docs_validator import *

print(validate("52998224725"))
print(validate("11222333000181"))

print(detect("52998224725"))
print(detect("11222333000181"))

cpf = generate_cpf()
cnpj = generate_cnpj()

print(cpf, validate_cpf(cpf))
print(cnpj, validate_cnpj(cnpj))

print(validate("12ABC34501DE35", mode="experimental"))

Roadmap

Future goals for the library:

• Multi-country document validation
• Support for VAT / SSN style identifiers
• Additional generators
• Performance optimization
• Extended CLI capabilities
