This is an "ICI" notification, which stands for "Identificação do Condutor Infrator" (Identification of Offending Driver). We contacted the company that owns the vehicle and this is how we know that you were driving it. So we have sent you a notification that includes an extra charge of €4.42 for each journey (2,21€ for costs associated with sending the notification to the company that owns the vehicle + 2,21€ for costs related to the new mailing of the notification to you).

If you don't pay your tolls at the time of your journey or later by the deadline, we will start a notification process to obtain payment of the amount you owe.
- We will send you a payment notification , which will show the amount owed for tolls and the applicable additional charges (€2.21 per journey)
- We will send this to you first by registered letter with confirmation of receipt. If the registered letter is returned to us, we will then send you the notifications by ordinary letter. According to Portuguese law, you will be considered to have been notified five days after the date on which this letter is sent
- We send the notification to the name and address shown on the vehicle's registration record, i.e. those held on file at the Motor Vehicle Registry Office
For more information about changing the owner or address on the vehicle's registration record, please see the FAQ "How can I change the address to which notifications are sent?"
