How to Verify a Real Estate Agent’s AMI License in Portugal

How to Verify a Licensed Real Estate Consultant in Portugal

Real Estate Consultants in Portugal are strictly regulated, making it very simple to verify the credentials of the professional you are working with. All you need is their AMI license number, issued by IMPIC – Instituto dos Mercados Públicos, do Imobiliário e da Construção.

Our Home Portugal | License Number 22847‑AMI

Every licensed Real Estate Consultant in Portugal is legally required to display this number on their website, promotional materials, business cards, and all marketing activities. This transparency makes it extremely easy to confirm whether a consultant is legitimate.

To verify the validity of an AMI license, visit the official IMPIC website: 👉 https://www.impic.pt/impic/

Click on “Verificar número AMI”, enter the license number, and press “Pesquisar”. If the number is valid, the system will display the company’s registration details and confirm that the mandatory insurance is active.

If the AMI number is invalid, the website will show no results. This is a clear sign that the consultant is operating illegally and should be avoided.

Licensed real estate companies in Portugal are legally required to carry civil liability insurance, which protects both the buyer and the consultant in case of any issues during the transaction. Working with an unlicensed agent — who does not have this insurance — significantly increases your financial risk.

If you are planning to buy property in Portugal, protecting yourself is essential.

The safest choice is to work with a licensed consultant such as Our Home Portugal | License Number 22847‑AMI, which openly displays its credentials.
