What is cpf number?

CPF stands for Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas, which translates to "Registry of Natural Persons" in English. It is a unique identification number assigned to individuals in Brazil, similar to a social security number in the United States.

The CPF number is issued by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service and is used for various purposes, including tax identification, social security benefits, banking, and other financial transactions. It is a 11-digit number that is unique to each individual and is required for opening a bank account, applying for credit, and for most official transactions in Brazil.

It is important to keep your CPF number secure and private, as it is used to access sensitive personal and financial information. If you lose your CPF card or suspect that your number has been compromised, you should report it to the Federal Revenue Service immediately to prevent identity theft or fraud.
