credencial de registo de menores estrangeiros (registration certificate for a foreign child)
An AIMA document for a child living in Portugal without regularised status. It is shown at the health centre and at school so that the child has access to healthcare and education. You request it by writing to registo.menores@aima.gov.pt: they reply with a list of documents and a form for the child's details and, once these have been checked, send the signed document by email.
Where you come across it. A child is in the country but the family has no residence permit; the school or health centre asks for a number and documents.
It is not a residence permit or a utente number, but a separate registration document. If your address or phone number changes, ask for a new copy; renewal follows the same procedure.
