It is essential for accessing social security benefits, including healthcare, unemployment benefits, and pensions. All employees, self-employed individuals, and residents who want to work legally in Portugal or access social security services need to have a NISS. This number ensures that individuals are registered in the Portuguese social security system and can benefit from the country's social welfare programs.\n<br><br>\n<p>Social security identification numbers (NISS) enable unique, precise and rigorous nationwide identification for the purposes of social security and allow access to rights and obligations.
