“Verify efficient and best prices”
“for 30 euros I have been more than happy, but they were kind of slow to process my application due to public holidays and strikes... I think they are a new company, so they certainly will do better in the future! Overall I recommend”
“Obrigado, Coepi 🙌 I was looking for different companies to get my NIF number and the price of coepi feels very fair. Process is intuitive, had a small issue but support replied fast and was able to solve uncomplicated. All in all - very happy and I didn't have to print, fax, or mail a single thing. Got my official NIF this morning after 4 days.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a NIF without visiting Portugal?
Yes. The whole process is online: upload your passport and proof of address, e-sign the power of attorney, and Coepi submits your application to the Portuguese Tax Authority the same day, acting as your fiscal representative for the application. It costs €39.99 including VAT, paid once. No travel required.
How much does a NIF cost with Coepi?
€39.99 including VAT. No tiers, no hidden fees. The Portuguese government issues the NIF for free or a nominal fee. Our charge covers expert handling, secure processing, and peace of mind.
What is a fiscal representative and do I need one long-term?
A fiscal representative is a Portugal-based entity that acts as your link to the tax office. While required for the NIF application, a 2022 law change made it optional for most non-residents afterward. We cover the representation for the application, and you likely won't need it long-term unless you have complex tax obligations.
What documents are accepted as proof of address?
You can use a recent utility bill, a bank statement, or a valid driver's license that clearly shows your name and address outside of Portugal.
Is the NIF I receive official?
Yes. You will receive the official NIF document issued directly by the Portuguese Tax Authority (Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira).
How long is the NIF valid for?
Your NIF is valid for life and does not expire.
Can I use this NIF to open a bank account?
Absolutely. Opening a bank account is one of the most common reasons people get a NIF, and the one we provide is all you need.
How long does it take to get a NIF?
We review and submit your application the same day we receive all required documents. The Portuguese tax authority (Finanças) then issues your NIF, typically within 7–14 business days. Exact timing is set by the authorities and can vary.
What documents do I need?
A clear copy of your passport and a proof of address from your home country (a recent utility bill, bank statement, or valid driver's license showing your name and address outside Portugal).
Is the process entirely online?
Yes, 100% online. You can apply from anywhere in the world without visiting Portugal. Upload your documents, e-sign the power of attorney, and receive your NIF by email.
Do I need a NIF for a D7 visa application?
Yes, a NIF is typically required as part of the D7 visa application process for Portugal. Many people apply for their NIF as one of the first steps in their visa preparation.
