Junta de freguesia
In Portugal, a Junta de Freguesia is a local administrative body that represents a civil parish, which is the smallest administrative division in the country. Each parish has its own Junta de Freguesia, responsible for managing local affairs and providing services to the residents.
To obtain a residence certificate in Portugal, you typically need to visit the Junta de Freguesia office in the area where you reside. The residence certificate, known as "Certificado de Residência," confirms your address and legal residence in Portugal. It is often required for various administrative purposes, such as opening a bank account, enrolling in schools, or applying for certain permits.
