Overview
Coepi is a Portuguese LegalTech platform that specialises in helping individuals obtain a Portuguese NIF (Número de Identificação Fiscal), the nine-digit tax identification number issued by the Portuguese Tax Authority (Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira). The service is delivered entirely online: applicants upload a passport copy and a proof of address, sign a power of attorney electronically, and Coepi's legal team submits the application to Finanças. The company positions itself as one of the cheapest online NIF providers in Portugal, charging a one-time fee of €39.99 including VAT with no recurring fees, and it states that most applications are submitted the same day and that Finanças typically issues the NIF within 7–14 business days. The brand name comes from Latin and means "the beginning," a reference to the fresh start that moving to Portugal represents for its customers. Coepi's stated mission is to make immigration and bureaucracy fast and fair, combining automation with human oversight. The company describes a "Human-in-the-Loop" promise: automation handles roughly 90% of the busy work, but an immigration lawyer reviews every application. Thaís Garrido serves as Chief Legal Officer and is identified as an Advogada registered with the Ordem dos Advogados under number 58735L; she reviews the company's published guides and service pages. Sascha is identified as Co-Founder and CTO. Coepi's core product is the Portuguese NIF application service, which includes document verification, preparation of the power of attorney, same-day submission, and initial fiscal representation for the application. The company also publishes comparison and guide content, including a Portugal NIF service price comparison and a guide for Brazilian applicants, positioning itself against providers such as Bordr, E-Residency, GetNIF Portugal, NovoMove, NIF Portugal, Anchorless, and NIF Express. Its primary audiences include people planning to move, work, or study in Portugal, with a particular focus on Brazilians, who as non-EU/EEA nationals must appoint a licensed fiscal representative in Portugal. Coepi presents itself as a modern, transparent alternative to expensive agency markups and multi-year subscription traps, and it emphasises bank-level security and encryption for customer data.
