comprovativo de morada
A document proving where you live: a tenancy agreement, an electricity or water bill in your name, a certificate from the junta de freguesia. You are asked for it at the bank, at school and when changing your address with the tax office. The more recent the document, the more readily it is accepted.
Where you come across it. Opening a bank account, enrolling a child in school, changing your address.
A mobile phone bill is often not accepted: you will be asked for a utility bill or a tenancy agreement instead.
