Choosing the Right NIF Service: Coepi vs. E-Residence
E-Residence (e-residence.com) is one of the most established NIF services online, with a very strong Trustpilot record (4.9/5 across 2,600+ reviews) and a fast turnaround. It is a Lisbon-based team that also handles NISS, bank accounts and Spanish NIE. The main thing to know is that the NIF price is not shown on their site until you start the application, and the service bundles fiscal representation that renews annually. (It is a separate company from the similarly named e-residency.com, which uses different, tiered pricing.)

Coepi vs. E-Residence: The Key Differences
E-Residence is a larger, well-reviewed service that bundles fiscal representation and reports a fast turnaround; Coepi charges a flat €29.99 including VAT with no recurring fee. E-Residence does not publish its NIF price on-site (third-party guides put it around €79), and its fiscal representation renews at roughly €99/year after the first year, a service most non-residents no longer need since a 2022 law change. If you want a big-brand service with a long review history, E-Residence is a safe pick; if you want the lowest transparent price with no recurring bundle, that is Coepi.
A Flat €29.99 vs an Unlisted Price
At Coepi, we charge a flat €29,99, including VAT. The price you see is the price you pay, with no recurring fees after your NIF is issued.
E-Residence does not display its NIF price on its website; you see it only once you start the application. Third-party guides report a standard fee of around €79, with fiscal representation bundled for the first year and auto-renewing at roughly €99/year afterwards. Since a 2022 law change made fiscal representation optional for most non-residents, that renewal is something many applicants will not need long-term. Confirm the current price on their site before ordering.
The Process: A Side-by-Side Look
Getting your NIF with Coepi is simple:
- 1. Upload your passport and proof of address.
- 2. E-sign the power of attorney online.
- 3. We submit your application the same day. Finanças typically issues your NIF within 7–14 business days.
The process with E-Residence:
- 1. Fill in their online application form.
- 2. Upload your documents and sign a power of attorney.
- 3. Their team submits your application via a tax representative.
- 4. Receive your NIF, typically in 3–5 business days.
The Bottom Line: Big Brand, or Lean Price?
E-Residence is a large, highly-rated service, and if a long Trustpilot history gives you peace of mind it is a solid choice. But if you would rather see the price upfront, pay a flat €29.99 incl. VAT, and skip a recurring representation you may not need, Coepi keeps it simple.
