In the context of importing a car into Portugal, a Power of Attorney (Procuração) is a document that authorizes a third party—such as our company, Car Import Portugal—to act on your behalf throughout the import process.
This document grants us the authority to manage essential steps like dealing with Portuguese customs, handling paperwork at the IMT (Institute for Mobility and Transport), and interacting with other official agencies required for the vehicle’s registration.
Why Power of Attorney Is Needed for Car Import
Efficient Handling of Bureaucracy: The import process involves multiple interactions with Portuguese authorities, each requiring specific documentation and submissions. With Power of Attorney, we can handle these on your behalf, saving you time and effort.
Customs and Registration Procedures: The Portuguese customs office and IMT often require direct submission of documents and in-person representation. Power of Attorney allows us to fulfill these requirements without you needing to be present for each step.
Convenience for Non-Residents: If you’re not yet fully settled in Portugal or unable to visit administrative offices frequently, Power of Attorney lets us manage the process entirely on your behalf, streamlining your experience.
