Commercial Registry
Known locally as Registo Comercial.
Commercial registration in Portugal (registo comercial) is administered by the Instituto dos Registos e do Notariado, I.P. (IRN), the registries and notarial institute of the Ministry of Justice, which also runs the civil, land, vehicle and ship registers. Company formalities and record requests run through the justica.gov.pt service portal, and companies can be formed online through Empresa Online 2.0.
The register's standard output is the certidão permanente, the permanent certificate of commercial registration: a digital certificate consulted online that replaces the paper certificate of a company's registration. Legal persons are identified by the NIPC, the número de identificação de pessoa coletiva, which appears together with the social-security number (NISS) on the cartão da empresa, the company identification card managed through the IRN.
Beneficial ownership sits in a separate register, the Registo Central do Beneficiário Efetivo (RCBE), also managed by the IRN under Law 89/2017. Every entity constituted in Portugal, or intending to do business there, must file an RCBE declaration identifying the natural persons who ultimately own or control it. The RCBE portal provides a consultation service with proof of consultation, and the register's information does not of itself constitute proof of an entity's legal position; beneficial owners may ask for access to their details to be restricted on the grounds set out in article 22 of the law. The Company Records report for Portugal provides the registry extract sourced from the official register.
