The online process to apply for my NIF as an American foreigner was incredibly straightforward and easy. I received my NIF in one business day which was incredibly fast. Would definitely recommend this service to others!

We had a 1:1 meeting to discuss our personal situation and how to proceed. Then Rosa became our rockstar. She has guided us thru the NIF process and now we are on our way to getting the Bank Account set up in Portugal. They break everything down into manageable tasks and have greatly reduced our stress!

I decided to use this company because the cost was a fraction of the price of an immigration attorney. Everything went smoothly. I purchased a NIF and bank account. I would recommend this service to everyone.

I'm happy I used Anchorless for my NIF. It was very easy to fill out the form online and upload my documents. They kept me informed on the progress and timeline which I believe was shorter than they had stated.

Fantastic service
Fantastic service, very fast turnaround and getting the NIF was cheaper than what we had been quoted elsewhere. I had a slight issue due to a mistake that I had made and they were really helpful to make sure that the delay was minimal. Highly recommended!

Exceptional
When I reviewed all positive comments it seemed too good to be truth. But they are really very good: great customer service, automated platform , friendly interface. My NIF was ready next day.

Superb Customer Service
I used Anchorless to obtain my NIF and Portuguese bank account online. The work began during the holidays in December 2023 and ended the first week of February 2024 [...]. I heartily recommend Anchorless. Getting the NIF and bank account through my immigration attorney would have cost me at least $1000 more.

Highly recommend Anchorless for your Immigration procedures in Portugal
We found Anchorless on Google, hired them to process this important document for us, and... Voila! it arrived TODAY!! As a former US Immigration translator for 21 years found the speed of this procedure absolutely amazing.
Alonso M, Canada
The best. As simple as that
This is the second time that I use the services provided by Anchorless. This time to obtain my daughter's NIF. The service is not only quick and efficient but also painless and effortless which is everything you could ask for while relocating to a foreign country. Thank you
Orlando, Spain
Very easy and efficient service
Very easy and efficient service. I was lost - trying to get my daughters Fischal number sorted in Portugal, with Brexit making life difficult. This service was fast and efficient, it took about 10 minutes and I never left the sofa!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
Daniel, United Kingdom
The company is great to deal with
The company is great, I had a good chat with Guilherme who is my contact about the process and what I wanted to do. So far setting up the legal requirements has been painless and they inform you of all the steps along the way.
Michael, Australia
Highly Recommended
Order my NIF and provided my documents online, all instructions on the website were clear and easy to follow. Got my NIF 24 hours after uploading my documentation! Money well spent! Thank you :)
Guilherme, United Kingdom
Better than helpful
In expecting mediocre, non-personalized help from Anchorless I was, I'm happy to say, pleasantly surprised to be wrong. I'm considering using them again for phase two.
"Going the extra mile" as the cliche says is what this company does and I would highly recommend them to anyone unsure of themselves when it comes to completing the paperwork required to begin the visa application process.
Robert, United Kingdom
Excellent service and support
Excellent service and support. We spoke with a representative who had broad knowledge and made it clear how we could move forward, what we could do, and what we needed further support. Technically, everything was friendly, with immediate response. We highly recommend this service.
Orit, Canada
Outstanding Experience
I recently had the pleasure of working with this company, and I can't recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, their service was nothing short of outstanding.
