31.03.2023

The Institute of Registration and Notary Affairs (IRN) registered 16,687 online requests for the first Citizen's Card for babies since the service became available on the Justice Portal one year ago.

The measure, which adds birth registration to the Citizen's Card issue, also allows the card to be sent home, without the need to go to an IRN office.

To request the Citizen's Card, you must access the service on the Portal da Justiça, authenticate yourself with Mobile Digital Key (CMD) or Citizen's Card and follow the steps indicated. The identification document must be requested up to 20 days after the birth of the baby.
