Portuguese Social Security Identification Number (NISS) Application
Get assistance obtaining your Portuguese Social Security number, needed for employment arrangements and social contributions.
Overview
What this service helps you with.
The NISS (Número de Identificação da Segurança Social) identifies individuals within Portugal’s Social Security system. It is used by employees and self-employed workers for registration and payment of contributions, recording qualifying periods for retirement benefits, and accessing applicable social protection rights.
Important to know
Without a NISS, registering a worker with Social Security and meeting contribution obligations may be difficult or delayed, affecting the formalization of employment or self-employment.
