When will my card be issued?

Your ITIC card will be issued once:

  • your eligibility for the card has been confirmed;
  • your payment has been successfully confirmed.

For payments made by Bank Card, MB WAY, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Wallet, the payment is initially authorised and will only be captured after your card application has been approved.

If additional documents or information are required, you will have 3 days to provide them. If this deadline is exceeded, the payment authorisation may expire, and you will need to make a new payment to complete your application.

For payments made by Multibanco Reference or Bank Transfer, your card will be issued once the payment has been successfully received. Depending on the banking institution, this may take 1 to 2 business days.

  • Virtual format, less than 24 working hours.
  • Simple registered mail, delivery in 2-3 working days, to addresses in mainland Portugal and the islands.
Please note that we do not send cards abroad. Physical cards will only be sent to addresses in mainland Portugal and the islands.

  • Your card will be processed and printed on the working day we receive your payment, within our opening hours, as long as the payment is identified in our account by 15:00.
  • If you need the card urgently, we recommend that you request the card at one of the Issuing Offices or in advance of the date you need the card.
