Declarations supplementing the title documents are admitted in the cases provided for by law, in particular for the full identification of the parties, without prejudice to the requirement of proof of marital status, and likewise for the full identification of the managers, directors, officers (directores), liquidators and other representatives of legal persons.

São admitidas declarações complementares dos títulos nos casos previstos na lei, designadamente para completa identificação dos sujeitos, sem prejuízo da exigência de prova do estado civil, e bem assim dos gerentes, administradores, directores, liquidatários e demais representates das pessoas colectivas.

What we checked in this article

The admission of supplementary declarations only in cases provided by law, the retained requirement of proof of marital status, and the list of office holders of legal persons are retained.

Registering an act under Article 33?

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.
