Excellent fast & reliable service
“Excellent fast & reliable service - exactly as advertised. They've taken the time to be thorough and clear in both what they offer and how they execute. Comparison table shows they are the cheapest, clear guidance on getting your NIF and then changing your Finicas password, which is included in their NIF package price”.
Exceeds all expectations
“The service of Philip and his crew exceeded all expectations. The service for getting a NIF was very fast, with automatic status notifiactions throughout the process. Even after we got the NIF, Philip is helping us with another process with out any additional costs (he told us that the process is simple, and he can send us a guide that will help us to complete it ourselves). Amazing service, high integrity - HIGHLY recommended.”.
I can't even begin to describe how…
“I can't even begin to describe how valuable Novomove's services have been to me. They made my dream of moving to Portugal a reality by helping with the NIF, bank account, NHR status, even an immigration lawyer. Their guidance saved me not just headaches and tons of time, but also literally thousands of dollars. Worth every single dime!”.
The service was simple and was assisted…
“The service was simple and was assisted in every step. I was even given guidance to steps i wasn't even aware of. I Hesitated on signing the power of attny. but after seeing all the positive reviews, I am glad I went with my instinct.”.
Great company to work with, Highly recommend
“Working for this company was so great that I asked where I could review the service. My family and I needed our NIFs for our move to Portugal. After submitting everything and signing everything we received our NIFs in one day. The platform is also great for document submission. I highly recommend working with Novomove..”.
Novomove help us in the NIF and bank…
Novomove help us in the NIF and bank account opening process. It would be a stress for me to do by our own. Whenever we had any questions, their team was always give prompt and professional responses. Their service really helpful and valuable!
Got my NIF in 1 day
Considering how nervous I was about bureaucracy in Portugal because everyone was telling me how slow and difficult everything is there, I'm more than happy with the service provided by Novomove. They completed my order the next day, and the price was reasonable, compared to other companies.Why Digital Notifications Are Not Always Enough
Portuguese tax law allows non-residents to activate electronic notifications via the Portal das Finanças.
However, some official notices are still sent exclusively by regular mail to your registered tax address.
Audit & Inspection Requests
Requests for additional documentation
Fines & Late Payment Warnings
Notices of penalties or overdue taxes
Legal Summons & Official Correspondence
Important legal notices
Debt Collection & Tax Enforcement Letters
Formal debt recovery communications
If your NIF tax address is outside Portugal, these letters may never reach you in time.
With our tax representative, you are guaranteed to receive all official notices, scanned and delivered via email

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a tax representative if I already have a NIF?
It depends. If you’re a non-resident with a NIF and your tax address is outside Portugal, you are not required to appoint a tax representative if you have activated electronic notifications on the Portal das Finanças.
However, some official tax-related notices are still sent exclusively by regular mail—especially if you own property, earn income, or have other financial activities in Portugal. If your tax address is outside the EU, there is a risk that you won’t receive these letters in time, leading to potential missed deadlines, fines, or legal issues.
💡 A tax representative ensures all official correspondence is received and forwarded to you promptly.
How do I switch my tax representation to Novomove?
Switching to Novomove is quick and fully online:
1️⃣ Sign Up: Complete our online application.
2️⃣ Document Submission: Provide a clear scan of your passport and both pages of your NIF certificate.
3️⃣ Power of Attorney (PoA): Electronically sign the PoA we provide, authorizing our partner lawyer to act on your behalf.
Once completed, we handle everything with Finanças, including notifying them of the change.
How long does it take to update my NIF with Novomove?
Once you sign the Power of Attorney, your NIF certificate will be updated within a few business days.
Is the €79 fee a one-time payment?
No, the €79 fee covers one full year of tax representation. It is billed annually for continued service.
💡 You can cancel anytime through your Novomove account.
Can I cancel my tax representation with Novomove?
Yes. You can cancel anytime through your Novomove account.
🚨 Before canceling, you must first:
✔ Activate digital notifications and remove our tax rep on the Portal das Finanças
✔ OR appoint a new tax representative.
💡 Only after one of these steps is completed should you proceed with canceling your tax representation. This ensures you remain compliant and continue receiving important Finanças communications.
How do I cancel my tax representation?
To cancel, simply log into your Novomove account, navigate to the Orders section, and submit a cancellation request.
What happens if I don’t appoint a tax representative?
If you activate electronic notifications on Portal das Finanças, you do not need a tax representative.
However, if your tax address is outside Portugal and you have property, income, or other tax-related activities in Portugal, you may still receive important tax notices by mail.
🚨 If these letters never reach you, you could face fines or legal issues without realizing it.
💡 A tax representative prevents this risk by receiving and forwarding all your Finanças mail.
