4MDG data sources: data straight from the source.
Over 600 public sources on individuals and companies queried automatically by the platform: Receita Federal, Simples Nacional, Sintegra, Suframa, state departments, city governments, courts, professional councils, environmental agencies and sanctions lists. The same query base supports day-to-day master data work on 4MDG's MDM (Master Data Management) platform and data cleansing projects.

Concept
What is a verification source?
A verification source is a public information service maintained by a government body, authority, agency, court, council or institution, where you can check the existence, the status and the regularity of an individual or a company. It is the Receita Federal telling you whether the CNPJ is active, the SEFAZ telling you whether the state registration is enabled, the TST telling you whether there is a labor debt, the Portal da Transparência telling you whether the company is barred from contracting with the public sector.
Our platform queries these sources at the origin, automatically, and brings the structured result into the record. Instead of having an analyst open dozens of websites, type in the document number and save a PDF, the verification happens inside the flow, the result is attached to the record and the evidence is stored with date and time.
Verification at the source, not in the screenshot the supplier sent
Structured result, which becomes a field, a rule and an alert in the record
Stored evidence with date, time and the source response
Scheduled re-check, because registration status changes over time
How it's used
The same source serves supplier qualification and customer onboarding.
What changes is the policy: which sources are mandatory, at which stage of the flow they run, what blocks the record and what only raises an alert for the analyst.
In supplier qualification
Existence and status of the CNPJ, ownership structure and tax classification confirmed before opening the process.
Federal, state, municipal, labor and FGTS certificates collected and automatically revalidated.
Sanctions and debarment lists, lawsuits and background records make up the integrity due diligence.
Sector licenses by category: ANVISA, ANP, ANTT, IBAMA, fire department, professional councils.
In customer onboarding
KYC and KYB from the first contact: CPF, CNPJ, registration status and ownership structure validated at the source.
State registration, Sintegra, Suframa and tax regime to issue invoices without rejection.
Address, postal code and contact data normalized before entering the ERP and the CRM.
Sanctions and restrictions checked to release credit and limits based on verified data.
Individuals and legal entities
There are sources for both sides of the record.
Company and individual appear together in the same process: the legal entity signs the contract, but the one who answers for it is the partner, the legal representative or the qualified professional. The platform checks both.
Legal entities
Who the company is and whether it can operate
Individuals
Who answers for the company or contracts with you
Two uses
In the software every day, and in batch data cleansing.
Daily use on the platform
The query runs inside the registration flow, at the stage you configured, and fills in fields automatically.
The rule decides on its own: a return outside the policy blocks progress or opens a pending task for the analyst.
Periodic jobs re-query the active base and reopen any record that has lost validity.
Data cleansing project
The entire base is enriched and checked against the public source, record by record.
Cancelled CNPJ, unfit registration, divergent company name and outdated address show up before they become a tax problem.
The result feeds deduplication and the load into the ERP during migration or rollout.
How many records in your base have a cancelled CNPJ or an unfit registration right now? The free diagnosis answers that by querying the public source.

Where sources and OCR fit into your process.
The combination is always the same: the uploaded document is read by OCR, the extracted data becomes registration fields, and public sources confirm whether it is true. Only who is on the other side changes.

Reputation and adverse media
Reputational risk does not show up in a certificate. The adverse media search scans news, publications and public records for negative mentions of the CNPJ, the partner or the legal representative: fraud, corruption, slavery-like labour, environmental damage, high-profile lawsuits and involvement in investigative operations. The result goes into the dossier alongside sanctions, lawsuits and background records, and periodic re-checks alert you when something new is published about a third party already approved.
Document OCR
The document you send also becomes data.
Beyond the lookups, the platform reads images and PDFs via OCR and extracts the fields straight into the record. There is OCR for the main Brazilian documents, such as CNH, RG, CPF, CRLV, proof of address, service invoices and income tax returns, among others. What OCR extracts is immediately checked against the corresponding public source.
Documents read by OCR
CNH (Brazilian driver's license)
RG and identification documents
CRLV (vehicle registration and licensing)
Income tax return (individuals)
Service invoice (SP, RJ, BA, PE, MG, RS)
Electricity bills: CEMIG, CPFL, Enel, Light
Electricity bills: Energisa, Neoenergia, Elektro, RGE
Consumption statement
Proof of address
Certificates and articles of association

Source and OCR working together
1. The supplier, customer or third party sends the document through the portal.
2. OCR reads the document and fills in the record fields, with no retyping.
3. Public sources confirm what was extracted and flag any divergence between the document and the official record.
4. The rule decides: approve, raise a pending item or block, with the evidence stored.
Catalog
The available queries.
An overview of the main Brazilian public sources currently available for use in the platform's workflows and in data cleansing projects. We also query public sources from other countries, such as Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Colombia. New sources are added as agencies make access available.
325 queries across 12 categories
Outside Brazil too
Beyond Brazilian sources, we query public records in other Latin American countries and in other regions, for companies that buy from, sell to or operate with third parties abroad. Tax identification, registration status, corporate registry and international sanctions lists all enter the same due diligence workflow.
There are more queries than the ones listed here
The catalog covers the most used sources, but it is not the complete list: there are specific queries by state, municipality, sector agency and use case that are not on this page. If you did not find the source your process requires, talk to our specialists. We assess availability and enable the query in your workflow.

Which sources does your process need to check?
We assemble the set of queries and OCR by type of supplier, customer or third party, and show you the result in your own database. No commitment.
