RIC — certidão de registo de infrações do condutor (certificate of driving offences)
An official ANSR certificate showing which traffic offences are on your record. You order it with form F301 — through the offences portal, by a letter digitally signed with your citizen card, by registered letter to ANSR, or in person at the offences department of the PSP or GNR where you live. Through the portal the certificate costs from €50, by post from €71 (€25 a page); it takes five working days on average and is issued only in Portuguese.
Where you come across it. Most people never need it: employers ask for it when hiring drivers, and lawyers request it under a power of attorney.
Only the driver can request the certificate, or a representative with a power of attorney that explicitly states it is for the RIC: a general power of attorney will not do. You can check your own points and unpaid fines free of charge on the offences portal; the paid certificate is for when a third party demands one.
