Contribution Status Statement (Declaração de Situação Contributiva)

Social Security (Segurança Social) statement showing whether contributions are up to date or whether there is any debt.

What it is for

Prove that your situation with Social Security is in order.
Prepare applications, tenders or contracts that require it.
Confirm the outcome after paying or settling a debt.

Example (fictitious). Titus Gorila is applying for support that requires two proofs: one from Social Security (Segurança Social) and another from the Tax and Customs Authority (Finanças). He obtains each from the relevant body, without using one in place of the other.

What it is

The statement shows whether your contribution status with Social Security (Segurança Social) is in order or whether there are debts. It concerns contribution obligations only: it does not cover all of a person's debts or their career history. Requesting the document does not guarantee a favourable result, and it should be read exactly as issued. If you are asked for proof that you owe nothing, check whether they want Social Security, the Tax and Customs Authority (Finanças) or both.

How we collect it

We need the holder's NISS and Social Security Direct (Segurança Social Direta) password, as well as the SMS code when the portal asks for it. We deliver the PDF of the statement issued.

Access required: Social Security Online (Segurança Social Direta). Credentials are encrypted only during the collection and deleted at the end.

Things to note

It does not replace the debt certificate from the Tax and Customs Authority (Finanças) or the statement of non-application of penalties. If the request is placed under review, you must wait for the official reply.

Frequently asked questions

Does requesting the statement ensure that I have no debt?

No. The document simply shows the situation as determined by Social Security (Segurança Social).

What if I have never worked?

gov.pt indicates in-person service for people who have never worked and need the statement for school or other purposes unrelated to debts.
