Getting a Portuguese virtual phone number for your business
Lisbon and Porto are Portugal’s two main business hubs. To reach Portuguese decision-makers, a +351 number spares you a foreign country code that many leave ringing.
Portugal applies the same rules to landline and mobile numbers. The company’s address must be in Portugal, and only one proof is accepted: the commercial register extract showing that address. A bill or a rent receipt is not enough.
The same extract, the certidão permanente, proves the company exists and can also prove its tax number (NIPC). In practice, you therefore need a company or branch registered in the Portuguese commercial register.
Country code and number format
- Local (landline)
- +351 +351 30, then 7 digits: the national range, not tied to a city, created for voice over IP. Geographic landlines start with 2 (21 Lisbon, 22 Porto). Example: +351 30 123 4567.
- Mobile
- +351 +351 9, then 8 digits (usually 91, 92, 93 or 96). Example: +351 912 345 678.
What you need to know
The certidão permanente
The online extract from the commercial register. It is ordered for one to four years and viewed with an access code: sharing the code replaces handing over a paper extract. It is also available in English.
The NIPC
The legal entity identification number has 9 digits and serves as the company’s tax number. It appears on the certidão permanente.
No 0 in front of numbers
Portugal dropped the leading 0: a number has 9 digits, whether dialled nationally or from abroad. A 2 signals a landline, a 9 a mobile.
