The Portuguese equivalent is a document set

Portugal does not issue a standard Commercial Registry certificate under the exact English title "Certificate of Incumbency".

The functional evidence comes from current commercial registry entries showing the company's management and representation, supported by statutes or appointment documents when the file asks for them.

Current registry evidence

We obtain the current Certidão Permanente and identify the management and representation entries relevant to the foreign request.

If the recipient needs the corporate act behind the appointment, we add the registry + documents certificate.

Articles of association

The statutes explain how the company is represented and how corporate authority is structured.

For legal opinions, banking and transactions, the combination of current registry evidence and statutes is a strong Portuguese answer to many incumbency requests.

Beneficial ownership is separate

Incumbency and beneficial ownership answer different questions.

If the foreign KYC file also asks who ultimately controls the company, we add RCBE evidence as a separate part of the package.

International file

We add certified translation, authentication and delivery when required.

You send us the foreign term. We deliver the Portuguese evidence behind it.
