Rectification of a registration does not prejudice rights acquired for valuable consideration by third parties in good faith if the registration of the corresponding facts predates the registration of the rectification or of the pendency of the related procedure.

A rectificação do registo não prejudica os direitos adquiridos a título oneroso por terceiros de boa-fé, se o registo dos factos correspondentes for anterior ao registo da rectificação ou da pendência do respectivo processo.

What we checked in this article

The protection of rights acquired for value by third parties in good faith, conditional on their registration predating the registration of the rectification or of its pendency, is retained.

Registering an act under Article 83?

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.
