edital — a public notice posted by a public body in the form of a list
A notice that a public authority puts up for everyone to see rather than sending it by post; once it is posted, everyone concerned is considered to have been notified. The call-up for National Defence Day works exactly this way: lists of full names and Cartão de Cidadão numbers are posted until the end of November at câmaras, juntas de freguesia, schools, recruitment offices and consulates.
Where you come across it. The notice board at the junta de freguesia and the câmara; the Balcão Único da Defesa website; public competitions and tenders, which are announced the same way.
You may never receive a letter, and that is no excuse: "I never received anything" does not work here. It is easier to check the website than to go to the notice board.
