What it is
This is the form in which the applicant describes their self-employed activity and explains how they earn their income, whether through service contracts, a company or green receipts (recibos verdes). It asks for identification details, details of the activity and the amounts received. It is not a document from the Tax and Customs Authority (Finanças), nor can it be used to register an activity: anyone who has not yet registered their activity must do so separately.

You receive the official blank PDF form, with an explanation of what it is for. The Titus assistant answers your questions about filling it in. You can combine it with other documents in the same request, with a single payment. We do not ask for any password for forms.
The assistant explains; it does not fill in or submit anything on your behalf. Do not type passwords or third parties' data.
Things to note
You receive the form unfilled, to be completed and signed by yourself. Please check with AIMA which supporting documents are required; we do not submit applications, book appointments or guarantee approval.
