| What the NIF is | The Número de Identificação Fiscal (NIF), also called número de contribuinte, is the 9-digit taxpayer number issued by the Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira (AT). It is required to work, sign contracts, open a bank account, buy property or a vehicle, or deal with the tax authority. Any person — Portuguese or foreign, resident or non-resident — may hold one. | |
| NIF — cost | Requesting the NIF is free of charge. It can be requested in person at a Serviço de Finanças (by appointment), at a Portuguese consulate abroad, or — for those already resident — via the Portal das Finanças. |
