What eBUPi - Estrutura de Missão para a Expansão do Cadastro Simplificado / Digital Land Registry does

eBUPi (Estrutura de Missão para a Expansão do Sistema de Informação Cadastral Simplificado) is a Portuguese government mission structure established in 2020 by Resolution No. 45/2020 of the Council of Ministers, operating under shared governance of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Environment in coordination with Territorial Cohesion. The entity is headquartered in Lisbon at the Justice Campus (Hub Justiça) and employs 19 staff. Its statutory mission is to expand Portugal's Simplified Cadastral Information System (SICS) and the Balcão Único do Prédio (BUPi) — a digital land registry platform — across the country. The mandate was extended through end of 2026, with a new institutional model planned for 2027.

The core technology stack comprises the SICS, which aggregates cadastral, registry, tax-matrix, and geographic data into a unified territorial knowledge base, and the BUPi citizen portal (bupi.gov.pt), which enables property owners to authenticate via Citizen Card or Digital Mobile Key, locate properties on digital maps, upload georeferencing coordinate files, sign electronic responsibility terms, and track validation status. Service delivery combines the digital portal with a network of 158 physical service counters (balcões) in municipalities across mainland Portugal, supplemented by the Mapa Público do BUPi, the GeoPortal, a telephone helpline, and the BUPi Envolve mobile outreach initiative. The most recent products — the GeoPortal (Jan 2026) and Mapa Público (Feb 2026) — extended the platform into integrated geographic-statistical visualization and public data transparency.

eBUPi is funded by the Portuguese state budget and European recovery funds (COMPETE 2020, PRR), with services provided free of charge to citizens during statutory grace periods. There is no commercial pricing and no equity ownership; the entity is a public-sector body whose primary user segments are Portuguese property owners and the 158 adhering municipalities. Strategic partners include IRN (Instituto dos Registos e do Notariado) for registry integration, AGIF for rural fire prevention, and AMA for authentication infrastructure. The entity's leadership transitioned in 2025-2026, with Eugénia Amaral appointed Coordinator (April 2026) and Lino André Olmo as Deputy Coordinator (September 2025). ESRI recognized BUPi as an international case study in cadastral digitization in October 2025.
