The provisions on land registration that are not contrary to the guiding principles of this enactment shall apply, with the necessary adaptations, to commercial registration, to the extent indispensable to fill gaps in its own rules.

São aplicáveis, com as necessárias adaptações, ao registo comercial, na medida indispensável ao preenchimento das lacunas da regulamentação própria, as disposições relativas ao registo predial que não sejam contrárias aos princípios informadores do presente diploma.

What we checked in this article

Land registration rules apply only to fill gaps, with necessary adaptations and only where not contrary to the guiding principles of the Code.

Registering an act under Article 115?

We file registrations at the commercial registry for foreign-owned companies: incorporations, share transfers, manager changes, capital changes, branches, filing of accounts and closures. In English, fixed fees, with the registry fee shown separately.

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

Registry work in Portugal, done right the first time

A refused or provisional registration costs weeks. We prepare the documents the registrar expects, file them and follow the application until it is definitive.
