certidão de dívida
Published 3 November 2026, 17:05
certidão de dívida (debt certificate that starts enforcement)
An internal tax office document in which the tax office itself confirms that a debt exists and is overdue. Enforcement proceedings are opened on the basis of this document.
Where you come across it. The start of tax enforcement, letters from the tax office, cases in your online account.
Do not confuse it with the certificate of no debts (Certidão de Dívida e Não Dívida), which you request yourself: that one is for AIMA, banks and transactions.
