GetNIF Portugal points out that applying for a NIF yourself is free, and that is true. Their done-for-you service is different: by their own site, it costs €120 a year, which recurs until you cancel. The question is whether you want a yearly fee, or the same official NIF for a flat €39.99.

Nothing renews.
€120 for the first year, which is how they deliver the NIF, then €120 in each of the next two years (checked 13 June 2026).
Their site is unclear on whether you can get the NIF without the yearly fee. The €120 recurs until you cancel. Confirm the terms before you order.
A NIF is valid for life and does not depend on who applied. What you may want is to stop the €120 yearly fee. It recurs until you cancel, so decide before the next year starts.
Yes. Coepi charges €39.99 including VAT, once, to get your NIF done for you. GetNIF Portugal's done-for-you service costs €120 a year. Applying yourself is free with either, because the NIF costs nothing from the government.
Yes. The Portuguese government charges nothing for the NIF. If you would rather apply yourself, Coepi publishes a free DIY guide. What services charge for is handling it for you.
Their site is unclear on that. It shows no separate one-time NIF fee, and the €120 recurs every year until you cancel.
They quote 7 to 10 days, with the NIF sent by email. Coepi submits your application the same day; our live turnaround page shows how long the NIF takes right now.
