You may also be asked to provide some other information, such as your address, mobile phone number, email address, etc.

**Cover of healthcare costs by the SNS**

Simply having a healthcare user number is not a guarantee that your healthcare costs will be covered by the SNS. For the SNS to cover your healthcare costs, the following information must also be associated with the registration of your healthcare user number:

*   An identification document
*   A Portuguese tax identification number (TIN)
*   Your full address in Portugal
*   A valid residence permit

In certain cases provided for under the law, your healthcare costs may be covered without you having to provide this information.

How to do?

++**How**++ can the service be carried out?

A National Health Service (SNS) national user number is allocated to anyone who needs healthcare at SNS public facilities.

Portuguese citizens get a national user number automatically when they apply for a Citizen Card (the number is printed on the back of the card). Non-nationals are allocated a number the first time they go to a public health facility such as a health centre or a hospital.

Being allocated a health user number is not a guarantee that your healthcare costs will be covered by the SNS.
