Features

✅ Alphanumeric CNPJ: Full support for the new alphanumeric CNPJ format (introduced in 2026)
✅ Flexible input: Accepts string or array of strings
✅ Format agnostic: Strips non-alphanumeric characters from string input and uppercases letters
✅ Auto-expansion: Multi-character strings in arrays are joined and parsed like a single string
✅ Input validation: Rejects ineligible CNPJs (all-zero base ID 00000000, all-zero branch 0000, or 12 numeric-only repeated digits)
✅ Lazy evaluation: Check digits are calculated only when accessed (via properties)
✅ Caching: Calculated values are cached for subsequent access
✅ Property-style API: first, second, both, cnpj (via magic __get)
✅ Minimal dependencies: Only lacus/utils
✅ Error handling: Specific types for type, length, and invalid CNPJ scenarios (TypeError vs Exception semantics)

Installation

# using Composer
$ composer require lacus/cnpj-dv

Quick Start

<?php

use Lacus\BrUtils\Cnpj\CnpjCheckDigits;

$checkDigits = new CnpjCheckDigits('914157320007');

$checkDigits->first;    // '9'
$checkDigits->second;   // '3'
$checkDigits->both;     // '93'
$checkDigits->cnpj;     // '91415732000793'

With alphanumeric CNPJ (new format):

<?php

use Lacus\BrUtils\Cnpj\CnpjCheckDigits;

$checkDigits = new CnpjCheckDigits('MGKGMJ9X0001');

$checkDigits->first;    // '6'
$checkDigits->second;   // '8'
$checkDigits->both;     // '68'
$checkDigits->cnpj;     // 'MGKGMJ9X000168'

Usage

The main resource of this package is the class CnpjCheckDigits. Through an instance, you access CNPJ check-digit information:

__construct: new CnpjCheckDigits(string|array $cnpjInput) — 12–14 alphanumeric characters after sanitization (formatting stripped from strings; letters uppercased). Only the first 12 characters are used as the base; if you pass 13 or 14 characters (e.g. a full CNPJ including prior check digits), characters 13–14 are ignored and the digits are recalculated.
first: First check digit (13th character of the full CNPJ). Lazy, cached.
second: Second check digit (14th character of the full CNPJ). Lazy, cached.
both: Both check digits concatenated as a string.
cnpj: The complete CNPJ as a string of 14 characters (12 base characters + 2 check digits).

Input formats

The CnpjCheckDigits class accepts multiple input formats:

String input: raw digits and/or letters, or formatted CNPJ (e.g. 91.415.732/0007-93, MG.KGM.J9X/0001-68). Non-alphanumeric characters are removed; lowercase letters are uppercased.

Array of strings: each element must be a string; values are concatenated and then parsed like a single string (e.g. ['9','1','4',…], ['9141','5732','0007'], ['MG','KGM','J9X','0001']). Non-string elements are not allowed.

Errors & exceptions handling

This package uses TypeError vs Exception semantics: type errors indicate incorrect API use (e.g. wrong type); exceptions indicate invalid or ineligible data (e.g. invalid length or business rules). You can catch specific classes or use the abstract bases.

CnpjCheckDigitsTypeError (abstract) — base for type errors; extends PHP’s TypeError
CnpjCheckDigitsInputTypeError — input is not string or array of strings (or array contains a non-string element)
CnpjCheckDigitsException (abstract) — base for data/flow exceptions; extends Exception
CnpjCheckDigitsInputLengthException — sanitized length is not 12–14
CnpjCheckDigitsInputInvalidException — base ID 00000000, branch ID 0000, or 12 identical numeric digits (repeated-digit pattern)

<?php

use Lacus\BrUtils\Cnpj\CnpjCheckDigits;
use Lacus\BrUtils\Cnpj\Exceptions\CnpjCheckDigitsException;
use Lacus\BrUtils\Cnpj\Exceptions\CnpjCheckDigitsInputInvalidException;
use Lacus\BrUtils\Cnpj\Exceptions\CnpjCheckDigitsInputLengthException;
use Lacus\BrUtils\Cnpj\Exceptions\CnpjCheckDigitsInputTypeError;

// Input type (e.g. integer not allowed)
try {
    new CnpjCheckDigits(12345678000100);
} catch (CnpjCheckDigitsInputTypeError $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

// Length (must be 12–14 alphanumeric characters after sanitization)
try {
    new CnpjCheckDigits('12345678901');
} catch (CnpjCheckDigitsInputLengthException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

// Invalid (e.g. all-zero base or branch, or repeated numeric digits)
try {
    new CnpjCheckDigits('000000000001');
} catch (CnpjCheckDigitsInputInvalidException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

// Any data exception from the package
try {
    // risky code
} catch (CnpjCheckDigitsException $e) {
    // handle
}

Other available resources

CNPJ_MIN_LENGTH: 12 — class constant CnpjCheckDigits::CNPJ_MIN_LENGTH, and global Lacus\BrUtils\Cnpj\CNPJ_MIN_LENGTH when the autoloaded cnpj-dv.php file is loaded.
CNPJ_MAX_LENGTH: 14 — class constant CnpjCheckDigits::CNPJ_MAX_LENGTH, and global Lacus\BrUtils\Cnpj\CNPJ_MAX_LENGTH when cnpj-dv.php is loaded.

Calculation algorithm

The package computes check digits with the official Brazilian modulo-11 rules extended to alphanumeric characters:

Character value: each character contributes ord(character) − 48 (so 0–9 stay 0–9; letters use their ASCII offset from 0).
Weights: from right to left, multiply by weights that cycle 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, then repeat from 2.
First check digit (13th position): apply steps 1–2 to the first 12 base characters; let r = sum % 11. The digit is 0 if r < 2, otherwise 11 − r.
Second check digit (14th position): apply steps 1–2 to the first 12 characters plus the first check digit; same formula for r.
