When applying for a NIF number remotely, the Portuguese tax authorities must check the applicant's identity and the veracity of the application, and you must appoint a tax representative.

In Portugal, only certain professions have the authority to certify your identity and the fact that you really need a NIF: lawyers, notaries and accountants.

In our case, our lawyer based in Portugal acts as your tax representative. She certifies that you are a real person and that you really need a NIF.

This fiscal representation is therefore compulsory if you want to apply for a NIF remotely: it is included in the initial payment, for a period of one month.

The initial €99 fee initiates the process for obtaining your Portuguese NIF and includes mandatory fiscal representation, a requirement for acquiring a NIF remotely, applicable to both EU and non-EU citizens, during one month. Please note, this fee does not include additional options to personalize your request. Any options you choose to add, such as expedited processing or access to tax website credentials, are available for an additional fee, further customizing your service to meet your specific needs.

No, there's no long-term commitment. You have the flexibility to cancel at any time, providing you with control over your service without the worry of being locked into a lengthy contract.

The fiscal representation is included in your initial payment and is then renewed for €10 per month, without commitment. This ensures that your fiscal representation remains active, keeping you compliant with Portuguese tax obligations.
