Coepi vs. NIF Portugal: A Transparent Comparison
NIF Portugal (nifportugal.pt) offers a NIF with 12 months of fiscal representation bundled into roughly €80. When we checked (June 2026), the figures on their own site were inconsistent, the service fee, renewal rate and turnaround were each quoted more than one way, so it's worth verifying the current numbers directly before ordering.

Coepi vs. NIF Portugal: The Key Differences
NIF Portugal bundles a year of fiscal representation into about €80; Coepi charges a flat €29.99 including VAT and doesn't lock you into a recurring representation you may not need. Coepi's pricing and turnaround are stated one clear way; NIF Portugal's own site gives conflicting figures, which makes the true cost harder to pin down.
A Single Clear Price vs Conflicting Figures
At Coepi, we charge a flat €29.99, including VAT. One number, stated the same way everywhere, with no recurring fees after issuance.
NIF Portugal advertises around €80 including 12 months of fiscal representation, but their site shows conflicting figures (a €70 service fee appears alongside €80, and renewal is quoted as both €80 and €99 per year). The representation auto-renews annually. As always, confirm the current terms on their site before paying.
The Process: A Side-by-Side Look

- 1. Upload your passport and proof of address.
- 2. E-sign the power of attorney online.

The Bottom Line: Clarity You Can Trust
If NIF Portugal's bundled representation suits you, just be sure to confirm their current pricing first. If you'd prefer one clear, flat €29.99 incl. VAT, no conflicting figures and no recurring fees you didn't ask for, Coepi is the simpler, more transparent choice.
