Authorisation for Another Person to Collect Your Citizen Card (Autorização para outra pessoa levantar o seu Cartão de Cidadão)

Blank application for anyone who cannot collect their own card and wishes to send someone in their place. It comes with guidance on how to complete it.

What it is for

Authorise a family member or friend to collect your Citizen Card (Cartão de Cidadão)
State the reason why you cannot attend in person

Example (fictitious). Titus Gorila is in hospital after surgery and asks his brother to collect his renewed card.

What it is

This is an IRN application in which the cardholder identifies the card application, the person who will collect the card and the reason for their absence. It is intended solely for this collection. It does not replace a power of attorney for other purposes, nor does it guarantee that the service desk will accept the situation described.

What you receive

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.

Do you have questions about this form? Ask, for example, what a field means or who should sign it.

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

The form is provided blank and must be completed and signed by the cardholder. Please check with the IRN which documents the authorised person must bring; we do not submit the request or guarantee that it will be accepted.

Frequently asked questions

Can I nominate anyone to collect the card?

The form asks for the third party's details and the reason. It is up to the service to decide whether to accept the situation, so it is worth checking beforehand.

Can the card be handed to someone not named on the form?

In principle, no, because the authorisation refers to a specific person. If you change your mind about who will go, please complete a new form.
