Do you have a driver's license? You can now check this data and see if you have fines to pay (without leaving home)

The Driver's Portal, available on the gov.pt portal, allows Portuguese drivers to consult online information about their driver's license, including the number of available points, history of violations, and fines to pay. Access is done through the Digital Mobile Key or Citizen Card and is free. The Portuguese system assigns 12 initial points, with losses of 2 to 6 points depending on the severity of the offense. When 4 or 5 points remain, road safety training is mandatory; with 1 to 3 points, the theoretical test must be repeated; and with zero points, the driver loses their license for two years. Minor parking violations must be checked with the respective municipality.
