NIF Express is the online NIF service of Blue Ocean Immigration, a Lisbon immigration consultancy, and launched in 2026. Its €49.99 covers the first 12 months, then renews automatically at €49.99 a year until you cancel. The question is whether you want that renewal, or the same official NIF for a flat €39.99.

No. NIF Express is a private company, like Coepi. Both apply to the Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira on your behalf with a power of attorney. The NIF itself is always issued by the Tax Authority.
