NISS
Portugalize specializes in helping you obtain your NISS with ease and efficiency. In Portugal, NISS stands for “Número de Identificação da Segurança Social,” which translates to Social Security Identification Number in English. It is a unique identification number assigned to individuals for the purpose of accessing social security benefits and services.
The NISS is crucial for various administrative processes, including healthcare, employment, and social welfare programs. It serves as a key identifier in the Portuguese social security system, allowing individuals to access and benefit from the country’s social security services. It is also a legal requirement for anyone engaging in employment within the country.
