What it is and what it does
validate-docbr is a Python package for validating and generating Brazilian official documents. It provides a unified interface for eight document types: CPF (individual taxpayer ID), CNPJ (business registration), CNH (driver's license), CNS (health card), PIS (social security), electoral registration, RENAVAM (vehicle registration), and civil registry certificates. Each document type is implemented as a class with consistent methods for validation, batch validation, generation, and formatting.
The package is designed for use in Brazilian applications that need to verify user-supplied document numbers or generate test data. It has no external dependencies, making it lightweight to integrate. All document classes follow the same API: validate() checks a single document, validate_list() processes multiple documents, generate() creates new valid documents optionally with formatting masks, and mask() applies standard Brazilian formatting to a document string.
Use it for
- Validate user-submitted CPF or CNPJ during account registration or payment processing.
- Generate realistic test data for Brazilian-focused applications during development and QA.
- Batch-validate document lists imported from external sources or databases.
- Format document numbers with standard Brazilian punctuation for display in user interfaces.
- Verify multiple different document types in a single operation using the package-level validate_docs function.
