What Is "CPF Aleatório" and When Is It Used?


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone.

I've come across the term "CPF Aleatório" while browsing online, and I'm curious about its purpose and legitimacy. From what I understand, it refers to a randomly generated CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas) number, but I'm unsure when or why someone would use one.

Are there legal or ethical concerns with generating a random CPF? In what situations would this be necessary or acceptable? I’d appreciate any insights from those familiar with Brazilian CPF regulations and their applications.

Thanks in advance!

A CPF Aleatório refers to a randomly generated CPF number, which is a unique identification number used for tax and legal purposes in Brazil. These numbers are not assigned to real individuals but are generated for testing, validation, or other non-official uses, such as in software development or form submissions on websites. While generating random CPFs for legitimate, non-commercial purposes (like system testing) is generally acceptable, using them for fraudulent activities, such as to create fake identities or engage in scams, is illegal and unethical. If you're using a CPF Aleatório, ensure it’s for lawful, non-deceptive purposes, like software testing or example data in applications.
