Super easy process. I had my NIF in 5 days without leaving Brazil. The documents were already filled — I just signed and uploaded. Honestly couldn't have been simpler.
I needed a NIF urgently to buy property in Lisbon. The team was responsive and handled everything professionally. The portal made it easy to track progress.
Got NIFs for me and my wife in one go. Communication was great throughout, and they walked us through each document. Worth every euro for the time saved.
The NIF (Número de Identificação Fiscal) is Portugal's tax identification number. It's required for any meaningful financial or legal activity in Portugal — buying property, opening a bank account, signing rental contracts, starting a business, even purchasing a SIM card.
Correct. As long as you provide a Power of Attorney (which we prepare for you), we can represent you at the Portuguese Tax Authority. You sign documents at home, scan or photograph them, and upload to your portal. We do the rest.
Your NIF is typically issued in 3–7 business days after we receive your signed documents. Once the NIF is issued, the access password from the Portuguese Tax Authority arrives separately about 7 days later by registered mail to your fiscal representative — we forward it to you as soon as it arrives.
Two items: (1) a copy of your valid passport, and (2) proof of your foreign address (utility bill, bank statement, or official letter dated within the last 3 months). For minors, we also need both parents' ID documents and a birth certificate.
Yes. Payments are processed by Stripe — we never see or store your card details. Your personal data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and we comply with GDPR. We only use your data to process your NIF application.
Immediately: your three legal documents are generated with your data and made available in your client portal. Within 1 business day: we review your uploaded documents and confirm everything is in order. Then it's a matter of you signing and returning the docs.
Yes. If we cannot obtain your NIF due to factors within our control, we'll refund you in full. If the issue is on your side (wrong documents, etc.) we'll work with you to resolve it before any refund decision.
Five minutes to apply. We handle everything else.
