What is NISS and why is it important?

The NISS is the Social Security Identification Number and it is normally not necessary to request yours. This is because, in the case of those who have a Citizen Card, it is issued jointly.

However, foreigners or holders of an identity card may need to request the NISS to be entitled to Social Security benefits. For Brazilians, NISS is very similar to PIS!

In any case, it is the identification of workers in Portugal. In other words, it works as a work visa and guarantees access to maternity leave, retirement, sickness benefits and others. Furthermore, you can only open an account with a NISS!

What are the requirements to order the NISS online?

Currently, how is it possible to order the NISS online. But, who has the right to request the NISS and what are the requirements to obtain the number? Rest assured, we will now answer your fundamental questions.

Firstly, foreigners, Portuguese people with a lifetime identity card and employers can request the NISS online. As mentioned, those who have a Citizen Card and legal entities do not need to ask for it!

In addition, for your order to be finalized, some documents are required. Let's see the complete list for each category of people we presented above?

Which documents?

Portuguese citizens without a NISS number only need to present their Lifetime Identity Card for the NISS to be created automatically. It's very simple!

On the other hand, in the case of foreigners from the European Union and Switzerland, you only need to present the work visa, the identity of the country of origin with a copy.

If you are a foreigner from another country, you must bring some other documents:

  • Passport;
  • Residence title;
  • Residence Permit (temporary or permanent);
  • Civil identification document from the country of origin and its simple copy;
  • Work visa.

Documents for companies

If your situation involves a request from the employer or legal representative of the foreign person, you must present some specific documents when requesting the NISS online.

In this case, it is essential to have an appropriate power of attorney or a DECLARATION OF AUTHORIZATION TO THIRD PARTIES, available on the Social Security website.

Furthermore, it is essential to present an identification document of the legal representative, whatever it may be!

How to order NISS Online?

First, access the Social Security portal. Then choose the option “I am a citizen”. Then, access the “Assignment of Social Security Identification Number (NISS)”.

So, just wait for the form to load so you can fill it in with your data. It is worth noting that you must present information such as name, surname, parents' name, date of birth, sex, marital status.

Furthermore, if you are a foreigner, you must indicate your country of origin and place of birth. You must also present the requested documents, such as your civil identification number and even your tax number, if you have one. Furthermore, click on “send”.

Did you see how simple it is to make the request? So, see if you received the email confirming your request. Furthermore, you may need to go to the Social Security service desk to complete the process.
