Quality of data and interoperability are key for research information systems. Organisation identifiers enforce uniqueness and disambiguate institutional records ensuring necessary quality and consistency. The main goals of the present work are to create rules, principles and processes regarding registration of organisations in Portugal, to build a first version of an authoritative National Organisations Database, to develop an organisation reconciliation service and to set up a registration system for those organisations. The main outcome is the establishment of an organisation registration system and a mandatory national organisations database that syncs information between the main national and international registration systems like Ringgold and ISNI (ISNI+).
