The Número de Utente is one of the most important documents if you live in Portugal. You need it to go to the public hospital, the pharmacy, or to do a vaccine.

- NIF (Numero de Identificação Fiscal) – Portuguese Taxpayer Number,
- For non-EU citizens: Residency permit or Certificate of appointment with QR code from SEF (Comprovativo da manifestação de interesse), if you are still in process of getting the residency. For EU citizens living in Portugal: Registration Certificate for EU Citizen,
- Social security number (NISS),
- S1 form (or equivalent) if you receive a pension from another EU country
All documents should be in decent quality in PDF format.
