Whenever the filing of applications for registration relating to the same request is not noted, the omitted filings are noted on the day on which the omission is discovered, with a reference to the omission and to its remedying being made on the day to which it relates, and the effects of registrations filed in the meantime are safeguarded.

Sempre que ocorra uma omissão de anotação de apresentação de pedidos de registo relativamente à mesma requisição, as apresentações omitidas são anotadas no dia em que a omissão for constatada, fazendo-se referência a esta e ao respectivo suprimento no dia a que respeita, ficando salvaguardados os efeitos dos registos entretanto apresentados.

What we checked in this article

The noting of omitted filings on the day the omission is discovered, the cross-reference on the original day and the safeguarding of registrations filed in the meantime are retained.

Registering an act under Article 45-A?

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.
