Electronic Service and Notification for Individuals and Legal Entities

The Decree-Law 87/2024 of 7 September has come into force, regulating the electronic service and notification of individuals and legal entities, establishing electronic service and notification as the standard for legal entities. The standard procedure for legal service to corporate entities is now electronic, carried out through a secure, free-access online area. Companies that do not register an email address for this purpose will be served by post. If delivery is unsuccessful, only one additional attempt will be made, with the letter left in the mailbox. Companies that register an email address will receive both electronic notifications and postal alerts if the notice is not accessed. Legal service is considered effective on the eighth day, regardless of access. Individuals may also opt for electronic service, if unviewed within 30 days, service will be performed by a process server.
