This error typically arises when the input does not conform to the expected format for these Brazilian identification numbers.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Format: The CPF should be in the format 000.000.000-00, and the CNPJ should be in the format 00.000.000/0000-00. If the input does not match these formats, the error will occur.

  Solution:
  
  Check Input Format: Ensure that the CPF or CNPJ is entered in the correct format. For CPF, it should be 000.000.000-00, and for CNPJ, it should be 00.000.000/0000-00.

  Validate Length: Ensure that the CPF has 11 digits and the CNPJ has 14 digits, including the formatting characters.
  Trim Spaces: Remove any leading or trailing spaces from the input.
  Use Valid Numbers: Ensure that the CPF or CNPJ being entered is valid and not just a random number. You can use online validators to check the validity of these numbers.
