You need to go to the "campus de justica" nearest to you. The cost is 9 Euros. You will need to provide proof of ID, address - and the original notice or letter that requested the criminal check. They will give you a receipt. It takes 2 to 3 days to process. You then go to the same office again with the receipt and pick up the document by hand. Its fairly painless.

Also available at your local
Loja do Cidadão (normally in the council offices)

Actually, this was how I tried to get mine initialy - but was told at the Loja do Cidadão in Lisbon that the service is for Portuguese citizens only - which is why they directed me to the campus de justica. For what its worth, the service at the campus de justica was very fast on both visits - hardly any waiting. But as we've seen before in this forum, rules from region to region can vary.

Yes indeed liek you say, region to region or even depending the person you have on the day, I got mine from the Loja do Cidadão in 2014

Breed type is a poor predictor of behavior.
