Company Registry Extract
Description
Official extract from the Portuguese Commercial Registry (Certidão Permanente) with company information, directors, and shareholders.
About This Document
A Portuguese Company Registry Extract (Certidão Permanente or Certidão Comercial) is an official document from the Commercial Registry (Registo Comercial) that provides comprehensive information about a Portuguese company. This certificate is essential for business transactions, due diligence, legal proceedings, and proving a company's legal existence and status.
The extract contains vital information including the company's legal name, tax number (NIPC), registered address, share capital, management structure, shareholders, corporate purpose, and any registered encumbrances or legal proceedings. It reflects the current state of the company's registration and any amendments made over time.
Portugal offers two types of commercial certificates: the traditional paper certificate (certidão em papel) and the permanent certificate (certidão permanente), which is an electronic certificate with a unique access code that allows online verification. The permanent certificate is updated in real-time as changes are registered.
