boletim de alojamento

boletim de alojamento (guest registration card)
A form filled in for a foreign guest wherever they stay overnight in paid accommodation: a hotel, holiday flat or guest house. The establishment must report the guest to the GNR or PSP within three working days, and report their departure in the same way. The cards are kept for a year.
Where you come across it. A hotel reception desk asking for your passport and a signature on a form; checking into a flat rented by the night.
The card is filled in for EU citizens too. For spouses and children travelling together, one person can sign. Once the host has submitted it, the guest no longer needs to make a separate declaration of entry.
