- If you have a Cartão de Cidadão (Citizen Card), the national health user number is on the back of the card — it is automatically assigned when you request the CC.
- You can also check it in the personal area of the SNS 24 portal or the SNS 24 app, under your registration information (RNU).
- Foreign citizens without a Cartão de Cidadão: the number is assigned the first time you go to a public SNS (National Health Service) unit (health centre or hospital) — bring an identification document.
