It depends on how much has piled up. If only a few filings are missing, it's usually quick. If it's been inactive for many years, it takes longer, because we need to bring each year up to date, working backward. Once the filings are submitted, the Receita Federal generally reactivates the CNPJ automatically, within a few business days, but the timeline can vary depending on the case. That's why we confirm a realistic timeframe for your case with a TF inter accountant. What we guarantee is clarity: we analyze it, give you an honest timeline, and don't disappear halfway through. We've already reactivated CNPJs for clients all across the Americas, from Canada to Argentina.

My CNPJ became inactive while I was living abroad. How do I resolve this remotely? What's the difference between an inactive, suspended, and closed CNPJ? I get confused. I have a company in Brazil but live in the United States. Do I need to close the CNPJ or can I leave it idle? I found old debts on my CNPJ (business taxpayer ID). Can I set up a payment plan even while living abroad?
