Obtain NISS (Social Security Numbe)
Your NISS (Número de Identificação de Segurança Social) is your Social Security number in Portugal. It’s required to pay contributions, access benefits, and start activity as a freelancer (ENI/Recibos Verdes) or as a company director/employee. We make the process simple—documents, submission, and clear next steps.
What you get:
20-min kickoff call to confirm your route (freelancer/employee/director) and timeline
Document checklist tailored to your situation
Application submission to Social Security
Your NISS issued (confirmation PDF/notice)
Contribution overview for your case (how rates are set, what to expect next)
Timeline: Usually 3 business days after we receive complete documents (timing can vary by workload and route).
Prerequisites: Valid ID/Passport, NIF, and basic enrollment details (e.g., activity description for freelancers, employer/company details for employees/directors).
Good to know:
Freelancers typically need a NISS before or in parallel with registering/start of activity.
Contribution rates and timing depend on your status (freelancer vs. employee/director); we’ll clarify what applies to you.
If you’re an employee, your employer also registers you for payroll contributions once you have a NISS.
Not included: Ongoing/quarterly contribution filings or payments (book “Quarterly Social Security Filing”), historic clean-up, or formal legal opinions.
After purchase: Within 24 hours we’ll email you a link to book your kickoff call and a short intake form. You’ll also receive the document checklist and a clear next-steps outline.
