Need to file or update the RCBE declaration? Article 35 is where it starts.

We file initial RCBE declarations, updates and annual confirmations for Portuguese companies with foreign owners, and map the ownership chain so the beneficial owner is identified correctly. Fixed fee, done in English.

Unofficial English translation prepared by BCA Portugal for reference. Only the Portuguese text published in the Diário da República has legal force. Editorial notes are ours and are not part of the statute.

Applying the law

The RCBE declaration, filed correctly the first time

A missing or wrong declaration blocks dividend payments, public contracts and bank onboarding. Send us the ownership chart; we identify the beneficial owners, file the declaration and keep it current.
