Company stamp maker for Brazil

A carimbo is not legally required in Brazil, but it is standard on notas fiscais, contracts and forms, and the CNPJ is the number that identifies the company on it.

Brazilian paperwork is dense with identifying numbers, and the carimbo is how they get onto a document that has no letterhead. Nothing requires it, and yet contracts, forms, receipts and correspondence carry it as a matter of routine, usually stamped beside or across a signature.

Questions

Is a carimbo required in Brazil?

No. There is no legal obligation to own or use one. Commercial and administrative practice expects it widely enough that most companies keep one, particularly for forms handled on paper.

CNPJ or CPF?

The CNPJ identifies a company and is what belongs on a company stamp. The CPF identifies an individual, and appears on a personal or professional stamp instead.

What about the Inscrição Estadual?

Companies registered for state tax commonly add it, particularly where the stamp is used on notas fiscais or goods paperwork.

This describes common commercial practice rather than giving legal advice, and practice changes. Where a specific document matters, check the requirement with the body receiving it.
