Renovar Guia

Understand every AIMA page, in your language.

Renovar Guia is a browser extension that reads the government page you're stuck on and explains it: what a field wants, what an error actually means, how to fill it in without a mistake. Guided walkthroughs of the whole process (appointments, renewals, status) come as it learns each portal.

What it looks like

The portal doesn't change. Renovar Guia draws the current step on top and highlights the field it's talking about.

How it works

You keep using the official portal. Renovar Guia rides along.

1

It knows the page

Open the portal as you always do. Renovar Guia recognizes where you are, whether that's the scheduling page or a renewal form, and offers to walk you through it.

2

It shows the next move

One step at a time, in your language: what each field wants, and what that error message means.

3

You submit it complete

Since April 2025 an incomplete application can mean automatic rejection and a lost slot. The whole job here is that you never submit half-done.

One thing we want to be plain about

We guide. We can't conjure slots

If there is no appointment to be had, no software can invent one, and anyone selling guaranteed AIMA slots is running a scam. What Renovar Guia does is make sure that when your turn comes, a confusing form or a mistranslated dropdown doesn't cost you it.

Questions people ask

Short answers; longer ones before launch.

Will this get me an appointment sooner?

No, and be suspicious of anything that claims otherwise. Renovar Guia gets you through the forms and the status page without mistakes, which since the 2025 rule change is what protects the appointment you do manage to get.

Which languages?

English and Portuguese at launch. What comes next depends on who signs up; Ukrainian, Russian and French are the current shortlist.

What will it cost?

Free during the beta. Long term the everyday flows stay free and complex ones may cost a few euros. For scale: the going rate for having someone fill in a €10 government form for you is about €150.
