The conservatory, also known as IRN (Instituto dos Registos e do Notariado), is the office where you obtain your DUA, the vehicle registration document/card.
Near the end of the import process, you’ll need to visit the conservatory with the necessary paperwork to request your DUA. This is also the office where you register a vehicle purchased in Portugal. IRN offices are local and are found in cities (and larger towns).
In our case, the office is located in our local Loja de Cidadão.
Typically, you need to wait 1-2 months after IMT registration before you can register at the conservatory. Waiting more than 2 months may result in a fine, so precise timing is important.
We can handle obtaining the DUA for you, ensuring that you don’t have to worry about timing and that the card is delivered to you hassle-free.
