You notarise one procuração to the partner lawyer. We coordinate from there — the partner lawyer handles the DAV, ISV and matrícula, we book the inspection at a partner workshop — and deliver your plates. Follow the whole process in your Dashboard in real time!
⚖ Fixed €399 service fee. State charges — ISV, IMT, registration, inspection — passed through at cost.
Portuguese vehicle paperwork is full of acronyms. Here's what each one actually means.
We’ve been there. Read it in your language — we take it from here.
Six verifiable steps. Each tied to the correct Portuguese authority. No timing promises — only the deadlines the law sets.
Fill in the form, print it, sign and notarise it, then send us a photo — we start right away while the original travels by post. Or we mail you the form with a prepaid return envelope.
The partner lawyer files the Vehicle Customs Declaration in SFA2 and settles the ISV with the Tax Authority; Matriculix prepares the data and coordinates. Within the 20-working-day statutory window.
IMT attributes the Portuguese plate number. Inspection is booked at our partner workshop with a formal scheduling request.
Initial category-B technical inspection, performed by an IPAC-accredited centre. We track via API where available.
The partner lawyer carries out the final property registration at the Conservatória do Registo Automóvel (IRN); Matriculix coordinates. The DUA is issued in the customer’s name.
We order plates from a licensed chapeiro and ship by registered mail. In most cases, the customer never sets foot in a counter.
Compared with a typical despachante quote for the same vehicle. Pass-through figures depend on the final ISV.
A finished case, end to end — every step clearly tracked in your dashboard, the matrícula attributed and the plates issued.
You fill in a short form and print it, then sign and notarise the power of attorney. Send us a photo and we start right away — the notarised original follows by post.
No printer? We mail you the form to sign and notarise, with a prepaid return envelope. From there we coordinate the process: the partner lawyer handles the DAV, the ISV and the matrícula, the inspection runs at a partner workshop, and we deliver your plates.
We make no timing promises. Portuguese law sets two — the DAV must be filed within 20 working days of vehicle entry, and the matrícula attributed within 60 days of RIVET. Those are the countdowns you’ll see on your case dashboard.
Real-case durations are published as case studies, with concrete dates, after delivery.
Our agent service fee — not the state charges. ISV, Conservatória registry, inspection, plates are all paid at actual cost with itemised receipts. You can see the full breakdown in the account dashboard.
AT may require conversion before applying Tabela B. The calculator flags those cases with a warn chip and offers manual review before the DAV is filed. Nothing gets submitted without your explicit confirmation.
If a mistake is ours, we put it right — and we carry professional insurance behind that. The binding detail is set out in our Terms.
