About electronic notifications

Electronic notifications are a way for citizens, businesses and public entities to receive communications from the public administration directly via email or through the gov.pt mobile application, or on the gov.pt portal.

Electronic notifications allow you to receive legally binding communications from public services in a fully digital format. They have the same legal value as registered post, but are faster, more accessible and centralised.

You can receive, for example:

  • Judicial summons and notifications
     
  • Notifications regarding economic activity services (sales, auctioneers, pawnbrokers, others)
     
  • Notifications about applications for European funding

Find out more about the notifications you can receive in the “Participating Entities” section at the bottom of the “Subscribe to electronic notifications” page.

Subscribing to notifications

Subscription is free and done online using the Citizen Card or Digital Mobile Key. Individuals, businesses and public entities can subscribe to electronic notifications.

If you are a business or public entity, at the moment it is only possible to subscribe via the gov.pt portal and not through the app.

Find out more about how to subscribe to electronic notifications 

Once you’ve subscribed, you can access your electronic notifications in several places, such as on the gov.pt portal, the gov.pt app (available on Google Play, the App Store, and the AppGallery) and the email address you designate as your Digital Single Address (Morada Única Digital - MUD).
