What we checked in this article

The ex officio re-creation of all registrations relating to the entity and the exemption of the requested documents from registry fees and other legal charges are retained.

Registering an act under Article 94-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.
