Apply for your Portuguese tax identification number quickly and entirely online, with support from a local tax representative.
Overview
What this service helps you with.
The NIF (Número de Identificação Fiscal) is an essential identification number for many transactions in Portugal. Comparable to Brazil’s CPF, it is commonly required to open bank accounts, sign residential rental agreements, obtain mobile phone services, purchase property or vehicles, and register employment contracts.
Important to know
