Simply ‘address’, but in paperwork there are several different ones. Morada fiscal (also domicílio fiscal) is the address linked to your NIF at Finanças; separately, there is the address you give AIMA, which is where your residence card is posted. You change your address with Finanças online: you submit a request, receive a letter with a code at the new address and use the code to confirm the change; holders of a cartão de cidadão change the address on the card, and it is passed on automatically to Finanças, Segurança Social and the SNS. By law you have 60 days to report a change of address.
Where you come across it. Portal das Finanças, AIMA forms, the bank, a rental contract.
The address on your NIF, the address at AIMA and the address in your contract are three separate records, and changing one does not change the others; a virtual address is risky, because the confirmation code and the card arrive by ordinary post.
