FCA: Brazil's Cadastral Form (Formulário Cadastral)

FCA (Formulário Cadastral) is a CVM registration-style filing that captures identification and cadastral data about a Brazilian public company. Developers searching for FCA CVM often want issuer identity fields — but for programmatic research pipelines, company resolve + FRE/DFP usually cover the same practical need.

What is FCA?

FCA is part of the broader Empresas.Net / CVM filing family alongside FRE, DFP, and ITR. Think of it as a cadastral / registration form: structured issuer identity rather than full audited financial statements (DFP) or the deep reference narrative (FRE).

Foreign developers sometimes map FCA loosely to “company profile” disclosures. In practice, many product workflows get issuer identity from a company master (ticker, CNPJ, name) and use FRE for governance and risk narrative.

What does FCA typically contain?

Depending on the filing generation and company, FCA-style disclosures can include:

  • Legal name and registration identifiers
  • Headquarters and contact data
  • Securities / share class information
  • High-level issuer registration fields

Exact section names vary. Always inspect the original filing when cadastral detail is material to your use case.

Is FCA available in apicvm?

Not in the current corpus. apicvm’s ingested document types for product workflows are DFP, ITR, and FRE. Calling GET /v1/documents?type=FCA is not a supported product path today.

For issuer identity via API, use company resolve instead:

export APICVM_KEY='apicvm_...'
export APICVM_URL='https://apicvm.dev'

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $APICVM_KEY" \
  "$APICVM_URL/v1/companies/resolve?query=PETR4&by=ticker"

For deeper company narrative (risks, governance, business description), list FRE:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $APICVM_KEY" \
  "$APICVM_URL/v1/documents?ticker=PETR4&type=FRE&year=2025&perPage=20"

Current limitations

  • FCA is out of scope for the apicvm MVP corpus.
  • Do not assume every CVM document category is filterable via type=.
  • Coverage expands only as the apicvm ingestion pipeline adds types.
