How to register a motor vehicle
Created by Ana Faustino at Wednesday, 25 May 2022
If you're buying or selling a car, you've already wondered what you need to do to register the vehicle in your name. Fortunately, the days when you had to wait endlessly in a queue to do so are long gone and you can now do it online.
.
Registration must be done by the buyer, but anyone interested in the act of buying and selling can do it. Whenever it is necessary to attach documents, the interested parties must be represented by a lawyer, solicitor or notary, as they are the only ones entitled to check the scanned documents against the originals.
Registration is done online at automovelonline.mj.pt and can be done at any time. Just be aware of the deadlines.
.
How do I register?
To proceed with your registration request, you must fill in the information about the vehicle and the parties involved on the appropriate form and send it electronically. In the case of registration of ownership of a vehicle resulting from a verbal contract of sale, the application can be submitted by the buyer and confirmed by the seller.
The applicant for registration is responsible for paying the registration fee and other charges.
After the process, those interested in registering (parties to the registered act) will receive an email and SMS notification as soon as the registration has been completed. Registration must be completed within two working days of confirmation of payment. The holder of the registration certificate receives the document at their home/headquarters.
In the case of registration of ownership of a vehicle resulting from a verbal contract of sale, the buyer and seller intervening on their own, without representation by a lawyer, notary or solicitor, can only apply for this registration using the online approval mechanism.

What are the means of authentication?
Citizen card, PIN codes and card reader.
Access data to the tax office portal (taxpayer number and password).
Digital certificate of lawyers, notaries, solicitors or resellers.

What is the price?
To find out how much you'll pay to register your car, it's important to pay attention to the deadlines. You can also count on a 15% discount on the amount charged at any car registration office.
