Very easy to apply for the NIF through their website. Easy to take pictures of the needed documents with mobile although process was started with tablet. You just have to scan a QR code to go on with your mobile. Very easy process overall and NIF was sent today, so it took only 2 days. Absolutely recommend AnchorLess!!

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 needed to get a NIF urgently and received it on the same day. I also tried to get a NIF at the financial office and after standing for 6 hours waiting was told that they do not distribute the numbers. So getting it through AnchorLess definitely saves a lot of stress and time.

Why update your NIF address?

Relocation expert

Your NIF was set up with a foreign address and a fiscal representative. Once you're in Portugal, updating it to your local address makes your tax residency official, and frees you from the representative you no longer need.

House icon

Become a Portuguese tax resident

Updating your NIF address to a Portuguese one is what officially registers you as a tax resident, the first step to access local rates and regimes.

Portuguese bank account
Passport icon

Never miss an official notice

Tax bills and legal documents are sent to the address on your NIF. Keep it current so important notices reach you, not an old address and you avoid fines for missed deadlines.

EU stars
House icon

Become self-employed in Portugal

To register as self-employed and invoice legally in Portugal, your NIF needs to be linked to a Portuguese address.

Water icon

Stay compliant with the law

If you live in Portugal for more than 183 days a year, you're required to register your Portuguese address. Updating your NIF keeps you compliant and on the right side of the tax authority.

IFICI regime

If you qualify, becoming a Portuguese tax resident is your first step toward IFICI

Access to public services

Access to healthcare and social security benefits, may require an up-to-date address.

This is why they loved us

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!

Mrs Miriam, Great Britain

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.

Alina, France

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.

Christine, United States

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.
