Frontr
Do it yourself. Without figuring it out yourself.

Your trusted local partner for your NIF Number

Frontr is built by licensed immigration lawyers who've handled 800+ real Portuguese relocation cases, now packaged into guided software. Get your NIF, open a bank account, and more, prepared correctly the first time.

Frontr turns Smart Relocation's five years of relocation work into a guided process: it explains what's required, checks your documents, and hands off to a licensed professional only for the parts that genuinely need one. Your case is still handled by a real law firm, just at a fraction of the cost.

Licensed lawyers

Regulated by the Portuguese Bar Association.

How it works

One platform, built to guide you through it.

Add a NIF, a bank account, solo or joint, for yourself or your whole family, to one order. Pay once, upfront, no surprises later, then the platform takes over.

Your platform explains everything.

Every document you need is spelled out clearly: what it is, why it's needed, exactly what's accepted. If something's rejected, you're told exactly why and what to fix, never left guessing.

Visa Application, coming soon

Everyone moves at their own pace.

Order NIFs for your whole family and a bank account in the same order? Each person and each service is tracked separately. One person's missing document never holds up someone else's progress.

Always know exactly where you stand.

A dated timeline and a real status for every step, so you always know where things stand, and your documents delivered straight to your dashboard, never lost in an inbox.

One document manager

Every document, uploaded once. Reused everywhere it fits.

Frontr keeps your documents on file once they're verified, passport, proof of address, and more. Your Portuguese NIF, once issued, is itself reused: it's one of the documents required to open a bank account. Add a service later, even a future visa application, and Frontr starts from what it already has instead of asking you to begin from zero.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I trust Frontr with something this important?+

Frontr is built by Smart Relocation, a licensed immigration law firm based in Lisbon that has directly handled 800+ real relocation cases over five years. Every case is still handled by lawyers regulated by the Portuguese Bar Association, not an anonymous form.

Is it safe to upload my passport and personal documents?+

Yes. Documents are sent over an encrypted connection and are only seen by the licensed professionals working on your case, never shared beyond what’s legally required to complete it.

Do I need to come to Portugal or visit an office?+

No. Everything is designed to be completed remotely. You sign a power of attorney authorizing our licensed team to act on your behalf, so nothing requires you to be physically present.

What if I don’t understand what a document requirement means, or I upload the wrong thing?+

Everything, every document request and instruction, is explained in plain English, with examples of what’s accepted. If something’s rejected, you’re told the specific reason, never a generic error.

Can I talk to a real person if I have a question?+

Yes. Every case is reviewed by a licensed professional, and you can reach out any time through our contact page.

How much does it cost, and are there hidden fees?+

Every service has one flat, upfront fee shown before you pay. No hidden add-ons or surprise charges later.

Is my payment secure?+

Yes. Payments are processed by Stripe, used by millions of businesses worldwide. Frontr never sees or stores your card details.

What if a document gets rejected, do I lose my payment?+

No. Your payment stays fully refundable up until our team actually starts working on your case, preparing your paperwork or submitting it. You can fix and re-upload documents freely before that point.

Do I need to create a new account for each service?+

No. Your details carry over automatically between services. You won’t be asked to re-upload documents Frontr already has, unless a specific service legally requires a newer version.

Is my information shared between services, or with anyone else?+

Information is reused only within your own Frontr account, to speed up services you choose to add. It’s never shared with third parties beyond what each service legally requires to complete your case.

Who is behind Frontr?+

Frontr is built by Smart Relocation, drawing on five years of relocation work and 800+ NIF, banking and visa cases handled directly, long before any of it became software.
