Can anyone give some assistance on setting up a MEI CNPJ or know if the website empreendedorportalmei .org is legit? Apparently setting up via the website requires sending them the password for the gov. br site which seems a bit fishy to me.

if you alluded to this one....

It is legit.

You will need a few other steps beyond setting it up.

You will need to get your State ID, as well as register in your city.

And once in possession of a CNPJ, opening up a banking account.

Also, you can find your local Branch of the SEBRAE

They can help you to go through the steps

@sprealestatebroker

thanks much appreciated. I was referring to the website empreendedorportalmei.org. They want the password to gov.br account. I’ll probably check out Sebrae since I have one near by or try the gov.br section you linked.

I strongly suggest you provide ZERO info to empreendedorportalmei.**. any domain name that long usually means it is not legit + no legit site would require you provide a password for another site.... if you did, change your password on the source site.
