Authorisation for a Third Party to Collect a Minor's Citizen Card (Autorização para terceiro levantar o Cartão de Cidadão de um menor)

Blank form for the person responsible for a child to ask that someone else collect the child's card. Includes guidance on how to complete it.

What it is for

Indicate who is authorised to collect a minor's Citizen Card (Cartão de Cidadão)
Avoid the responsible person having to go to the service desk in person on collection day

Example (fictitious). Titus Gorila works shifts and asks his daughter's grandmother to collect the girl's new card.

What it is

This is an IRN application in which the person responsible for a minor identifies who will collect the child's Citizen Card (Cartão de Cidadão). It only applies in situations where the service accepts collection by a third party. It is not a general power of attorney, cannot be used for other matters concerning the child and does not, on its own, ensure that the request will be accepted.

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

You receive the form blank: it must be completed and signed by the person responsible for the minor, and the designated third party must bring their own identification documents. Please check with the IRN what is required in your case; Titus Docs does not submit the request or guarantee its acceptance.

Frequently asked questions

Does the person collecting the card need to sign anything?

The main signatory is the person responsible for the minor. The third party must bring the documents requested at the service desk, so it is a good idea to check that list before going.

Can this form be used to get the child a new card?

No. It only covers who may collect a card that has already been requested. The card application itself follows a separate process.
