Our Process

Step 1: Initial Consultation

Our process begins with an initial consultation meeting where we thoroughly understand the specifics of your campervan. This crucial phase allows us to identify the exact requirements and map out the necessary steps for legalization. The information gathered during this meeting sets the foundation for a smooth and efficient process.

Step 2: Collection of All Necessary Documents

We will request you to send us all the required paperwork, which typically includes the Livrete (vehicle registration document) of the van. Gathering these documents promptly ensures that we can move forward without delays.

Step 3: Filling Up All the Paperwork

Our team will handle the completion of all necessary forms, such as the Modelo 9 and any other required documents. This step is essential to ensure all paperwork is accurately filled out and compliant with legal standards.

Step 4: 3D Project Creation and Certified Signature

Our engineer will create certified 3D project documents that detail the specifications and modifications of your campervan. These documents will be signed and prepared for submission to the relevant authorities, ensuring that all technical requirments are met.

Step 5: Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira Clearance Process

We will guide your campervan through the custom clearance process, handling all necessary procedures to ensure your vehicle complies with import and customs regulations. This step is crucial for vehicles that have been imported or significantly modified.

Step 6: IMT Inspection

The final step involves an inspection by the Instituto da Mobilidade e dos Transportes (IMT). We will prepare your campervan for this thorough inspection, addressing any potential issues beforehand to ensure a smooth approval process. Once your campervan passes the IMT inspection, it will be fully legalized and ready for the road.
