Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to receive my NIF?
🔔 Important Update – May 5, 2025
Due to widespread outages last week and the public holiday on May 1 (Labor Day), 3 out of 5 business days were non-operational for Portuguese tax offices. As a result, some backlog from last week still remains.
✅ Our team remains fully operational and continues to accept new orders.
🚫 While the Finanças portal is now functioning normally and our partner lawyers are submitting applications daily, the estimated delivery time for NIFs is currently 3–5 business days.
We’re actively prioritizing all pending and new submissions to reduce wait times as much as possible.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Do I need a fiscal representative in Portugal if I’m an EU/EEA resident?
No, EU/EEA residents are not legally required to have a fiscal representative in Portugal. However, opting for tax representation provides significant advantages when obtaining your NIF and ensuring smooth tax compliance.
With our service, our partner lawyer can act in one of two capacities:
1️⃣ As a legal representative – We request your Finanças portal login details, and the password is sent by mail to your EU/EEA address. This process typically takes 2 weeks, and you must wait for the letter to arrive before accessing the portal.
2️⃣ As a fiscal representative (Recommended) – We request access to the Finanças portal on your behalf and receive the password directly from the tax office, typically within 2-3 weeks. The login details are then sent to you via email, ensuring faster and more secure access.
Why Choose Tax Representation?
✔️ Faster & Easier Access – No need to wait for mail delays or risk losing important login details.
✔️ Ongoing Compliance – Some tax-related notices are still sent by mail, even if you activate electronic notifications. A tax representative ensures you don’t miss critical updates.
✔️ Account Recovery Assistance – If you ever lose access to your Finanças portal, we can request a password reset on your behalf. Our partner lawyer will receive the new password by mail and securely provide it to you, ensuring uninterrupted access to your account.
For the best experience and to ensure seamless access to your Finanças account, we highly recommend choosing tax representation when obtaining your NIF.
🔗 Read more about why tax representation matters:
When Should You Choose a NIF with 1-Year Tax Representation or Automatic Renewal?
Do I need a fiscal representative in Portugal if I’m a non-EU resident?
With Portugal’s 2022 tax law changes, non-EU/EEA residents can opt into digital notifications via the Finanças portal, which eliminates the legal requirement for a tax representative.
When you get a NIF through us, our partner lawyer acts as your tax representative for one year. This includes:
✅ Obtaining your NIF
✅ Providing login details for the Finanças portal
✅ Guiding you through activating electronic notifications
Even with electronic notifications, certain official tax-related notices are still sent exclusively by mail. If you don’t plan to update your NIF address to Portugal, we strongly recommend choosing tax representation with automatic renewal to avoid missing critical communications from Finanças.
🔗 Read more about which option is right for you:
When Should You Choose a NIF with 1-Year Tax Representation or Automatic Renewal?
Do you provide password to the Finanças portal?
Yes, we assist in providing access to the Finanças portal for both EU/EEA and non-EU/EEA residents.
Typically, you will receive access to the portal approximately 2-3 weeks after we have successfully issued your NIF. This waiting period is determined by the Autoridade Tributária and cannot be expedited.
1/ For EU/EEA residents, there are two options to receive your password:
Legal Representative Option: The Finanças portal password will be sent directly to your residential address via regular mail. This method usually takes around 2 weeks for the envelope with password to arrive.
Tax Representative Option: You will receive your password electronically via email. The password will be available in approximately 2-3 weeks, after being picked up by our lawyer from a tax office and forwarded to you as a scanned copy.
The choice between these options (only for EU/EEA residents) is available after you complete the payment and fill out the intake form. This ensures you have the flexibility to select how you wish to access the Finanças portal.
2/ For non-EU/EEA residents, you will receive your password electronically via email.
This is because the tax representative option is the only available method for non-EU/EEA residents. The email containing your password will be sent approximately 2-3 weeks after we have successfully issued your NIF.
