Before Documentos was an app, it was me writing things down — because I was tired of getting the same answer wrong twice.
That turned into a free catalogue of the 41 documents foreign residents actually meet in Portugal. Título de Residência, NIF, NISS, the AIMA receipt, DUA, IPO, and the rest. For each one: what it is, who needs it, where to get it, and whether it expires. Every entry names its official source, the publisher, and the date I last checked it.
The part I'm most pleased with is that it maps how they connect — you can't get X without Y, and Z is what they'll ask you for in practice even though it isn't officially required. Nobody had written that down.
No login. No email address. Nothing to buy.

—— HOW IT WORKS
From anxious to organised in three steps
01
Scan your document
Take a photo of any document — IPO certificate, driving licence, residency card, insurance policy. Our AI reads it and extracts every relevant date automatically.
02
Keep your details at your fingertips
A personal copy of your document lives in your Documentos account — so you can check expiry dates, registration numbers, and renewal details from anywhere.
03
We remind you in time
Email reminders at 90, 60 and 30 days — and 300 days before a passport expires, because that one takes longer than people expect. Each reminder tells you exactly what to bring, where to go, and how long it takes. In plain English.
—— THE REAL COST OF FORGETTING
Portugal's bureaucracy doesn't warn you
Nobody sends you a reminder when your IPO expires. Nobody tells you the fine for driving with a lapsed licence. You find out when it's already too late — and it costs you far more than money.
Expired IPO
Fines start at €250 and your vehicle can be seized at inspection.
Lapsed driving licence
€120–€600 fine. Let it go past 2 years and you'll need a practical driving exam to get it back.
Residency permit renewal
We remind you when your renewal window is opening, so you have time to gather documents and book your AIMA appointment well in advance.
