The first and most important step for your journey

How it works:

The NIF is an important identification number and a serious request

When applying remotely, the Portuguese authorities must check the applicant's identity and the veracity of the application, and you must appoint a tax representative.

In Portugal, only certain professions have the authority to certify your identity and the fact that you really need a NIF: lawyers, notaries and accountants.

In our case, it is our lawyer based in Portugal who acts as your tax representative. She certifies that you are a real person and that you really do need a NIF.

This fiscal representation is therefore compulsory if you want to apply for a NIF remotely: it is included in the initial payment for a period of one month. You can find the pricing details here.

A blank form titled 'Registro Central de Contribuyente' with sections for personal and contact information, including name, address, tax ID, and contact details, on a white background with blue borders.
