Instituto da Mobilidade e dos Transportes

The transport authority: driving licences, licence exchange, tests, vehicle registration, driving schools. It works by appointment; some services are available online. It goes by the same three letters as the tax on buying a home.

Where you come across it. Anything to do with cars and driving licences.

IMT the tax (Imposto Municipal sobre Transmissões) and IMT the institute are completely different things with the same abbreviation.
