NFS-e in the Emissor Nacional working today, without stalling your billing
Since 1 November 2026, micro and small companies in Brazil's Simples Nacional issue service invoices (NFS-e) only through the national Emissor Nacional, web or API, even where the city has its own system. In one video call, Emissor Nacional Pronto does the first login, sets up your services with the national tax code and issues the first invoice with you. The first step, the check, costs R$ 29 and is credited in full against setup if you order within 30 days.
Updated
- Written check for R$ 29: whether your city already enables the Emissor Nacional, which login you need and what is blocking you today.
- First login, company data and services with national tax code and NBS set up, and the first NFS-e issued together.
- No monthly fee and no commission: the Emissor Nacional is the government's official system; if you prefer a paid issuer, you sign up with it directly.

CGSN Resolution No. 191/2026 of 4 August 2026 moved the mandatory use of the Emissor Nacional for Simples Nacional ME and EPP from September to 1 November 2026. Under guidance published on the national NFS-e portal on 29 October, these companies must issue only through the Emissor Nacional (web or API), whether or not the city has its own issuer. The service period date (competência) is what counts: invoices for periods from 1 November 2026 issued in a city system must be blocked or rejected.
The step that trips most people: logging in with a gov.br account works only for MEI. ME and EPP companies, even in the Simples, log in with a digital certificate or with a username and password created at first access, which checks the legal representative's voter ID or income tax receipts. Then come the city, which must have signed up and configured the national system, the 6-digit national tax code, the NBS code and the DPS series.
None of this is hard, but every error stops the month's billing. And more is coming: IBS and CBS fields on the invoice become mandatory for Simples companies in 2027. Emissor Nacional Pronto gets the basics working now, in one call, and explains what changes in January.

One-page summary

Features
Written check
A written answer on whether the rule applies to you, whether your city has enabled the Emissor Nacional and which route to take. If the free route without us is enough, we say so.
The right first login
Username and password at first access, or an e-CNPJ digital certificate, with a check that the representative's CPF is linked to the CNPJ. gov.br works only for MEI.
Services set up
6-digit national tax code, city code where one exists, NBS in the required version and the right Simples tax-calculation setting, so the invoice is not rejected.
First NFS-e with you
We issue the first invoice to one of your customers together and check the XML and DANFSe.
ERPs and issuers
If you invoice through an ERP or paid issuer, we check with the vendor whether the integration already points to the Emissor Nacional API. We do not do custom programming.
Accountant access
We show you how to give your accountant a Receita electronic power of attorney, so they can use the portal's representation feature with their own login, without sharing your password.

Who it's for
Simples ME and EPP service businesses
Clinics, offices, agencies, workshops, schools and consultancies that used the city portal and now need the Emissor Nacional.
Companies that just left MEI
The gov.br login that worked as MEI no longer works as ME. We create the right access and set up the services again.
Companies with an ERP or own issuer
If the integration still sends invoices to the city, they are blocked or rejected. We show what to ask the vendor and test the first invoice.
Accounting firms
Many clients stuck in the same month. We hold the calls with your clients and return a board of who is issuing.

Compared with the alternatives

- No cost: the Emissor Nacional (web, app and API) is the official system and the portal publishes manuals and an FAQ. For many people that is enough; we shorten it to one call.
- A paid invoicing tool
- ClickNotas advertises R$ 59.90 a month on an annual contract, Focus NFe's Solo plan is R$ 94.90 a month and NFE.io starts at R$ 190 a month. It makes sense if you issue many invoices or want a system integration; if yours already works with the national standard, we tell you straight away.
- Your accountant
- The right choice if your accountant does the setup and has time this month. We also work for accounting firms, with their clients, in the Accountant package.

National NFS-e mandatory for Simples companies since 1 November 2026: what to do
Simples ME and EPP issue NFS-e only through the Emissor Nacional since 1 Nov 2026. Who must, why the service period counts, fines and IBS/CBS in 2027.

Read the guide →Questions
I am a Simples ME. Since when must I use the Emissor Nacional?
Since 1 November 2026, under CGSN Resolution No. 191/2026. The service period date counts: invoices for periods before 1 November stay in the city system; from 1 November, only through the Emissor Nacional, web or API.
Why doesn't my gov.br login work?
According to the official FAQ, gov.br login is available only for MEI. ME and EPP, even in the Simples, log in with a digital certificate or with a username and password created at first access.
Do I need to buy a digital certificate?
For the web issuer, maybe not: the official FAQ (items 3.1 and 3.3) lists username and password as an alternative for ME and EPP, checked against the legal representative's voter ID or income tax receipts. Issuing through the API, via an ERP or paid issuer, always needs an ICP-Brasil certificate of the provider itself. Because another passage of the same FAQ (17.7) limits issuing without a certificate to individuals and MEI, we confirm your case in the check before you buy anything.
The city says it is not enabled. What now?
Errors about a city without an agreement or configuration depend on the city, not on you. In the check we look up your city's status and tell you what to ask and whom.
Why pay if the Emissor Nacional is free?
You don't have to. The R$ 29 check tells you whether you need help, and is credited in full if you then order setup within 30 days. The R$ 49 setup is worth it if you want it sorted in one call, with the first invoice issued together.
Do you need my password or certificate?
No. You always log in to the Emissor Nacional yourself and we guide you by screen sharing. We do not store passwords, certificates or invoices.
Is this tax advice?
No. Emissor Nacional Pronto is a technical setup service. For tax questions such as service codes, rates or the IBS/CBS regime, your accountant or the city decides.
