How to identify and register properties at the Balcão Único do Prédio?

BUPi online:

  1. To georeference your property online, you must have with you your Citizen's Card and the Caderneta Predial with the matrix number
  2. Access bupi.gov.pt and authenticate yourself with the Citizen Card or the Mobile Digital Key
  3. Then fill in a short form and locate your property on the map in the BUPi platform. If you prefer, you can upload a file with the GPS coordinates of the property
  4. Sign the term of responsibility that is generated by the platform and submit on the BUPi platform
  5. Wait for the validation of the sketch created in the platform by the Qualified Technician of the municipality where your property is located Consult the BUPI platform to monitor the validation status.
  6. After validation of the draft:
  • if the property is registered in the Land Registry, the georeferencing process is automatically completed in the BUPi
  • if the building is not registered at the Land Registry, go to a Land Registry to make the registration. The Land Registry will already have the BUPi information about the geo-referencing of your property. Take with you your Citizen Card, Caderneta Predial and a document that proves that you are the owner of the property, such as, for example, the deed of purchase and sale.

BUPi counter at the Town Hall:

Go to the BUPi counter of the Town Hall of the municipality where the property is located (make sure the municipality has already joined the BUPi), taking with you your Citizen's Card and the Caderneta Predial with the matrix number of the property to be georeferenced. You can also indicate the number of the land registry and the NIF so that the technician can consult the Caderneta Predial on the Finance Portal. If you have already done a previous topographic survey, you should take the file with the GPS coordinates with you
  2. Then, together with the Qualified Technician, identify your property on the map in the BUPi platform
  3. Next, sign the term of responsibility and:
  • if the building is registered in the Land Registry, the georeferencing process is automatically completed in the BUPi
  • if the building is not registered in the Land Registry, go to a Land Registry to make the registration. The Land Registry will already have the BUPi information about the geo-referencing of your property. Take with you your Citizen Card, Caderneta Predial and a document that proves that you are the owner of the property, such as, for example, the deed of purchase and sale.

Using the BUPi App for land delimitation

The BUPi App helps property owners to delimit their land. After marking the boundaries of the land on the BUPi app, the owner can share the KML file generated by the application on the BUPi online platform or with the Municipality's licensed technician.

The BUPi application does not allow the georeferencing (RGG) nor the registration of the land.

How to delimit land using the app

  1. Download the BUPi application for Android or iOS
  2. In the app, the location is done using GPS. With the app installed on your mobile device, go to the land you wish to identify and mark the vertices of the property, as indicated in the app
  3. Enter the land data:
    • Land name
    • Matrix
    • NIF of the owner (automatically validated by the application)
    • Description
  4. Share the information through the application, in KML format, through the automatically generated email with the coordinates and property information.

Learn more about the app on the BUPi page.
