A passport certificate is a digital, lawyer-certified document that confirms the authenticity of your passport. Our licensed Portuguese lawyers verify your passport using AI-powered security checks and issue a certification that is valid for Coepi services, such as your NIF application. This is a digital document delivered within the Coepi platform. If you need a physical certified document for use outside of Coepi, an apostille from your home country would be the appropriate option.
Why You Might Need It
- Required for your NIF application through Coepi when you don't have an apostille
- Alternative to apostille for non-EU residents who can't return to their home country
- Accepted for all Coepi services that require passport verification
- Useful when your home country's apostille process is slow or unavailable
When Do You Need This?
To apply for a Portuguese NIF through Coepi, you need either an apostille on your passport or a Coepi passport certificate.
