The '''''Diário da República''''' (DR) is the [[Government gazette|official gazette]] of [[Portugal]]. Between 1869 and 1976, it was called the '''''Diário do Governo'''''.
It is published by the [[Imprensa Nacional-Casa da Moeda|National Printing House]] and comprises two series. [[Act of Parliament|Laws]], [[Decree-law|decree-laws]], decisions by the [[Portuguese Constitutional Court|Constitutional Court]] and other relevant texts are published in the I Series. [[Regulation]]s, public contracts, etc. are published in the II Series.
As in many countries, legislative texts are only binding after publication (article 119 of the [[Portuguese Constitution]]).
Since July 1, 2006, the gazette is published in electronic form, with only a handful of authenticated printed copies (for deposit in the [[Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo|National Archive]], the [[President of Portugal|Presidency]], the [[Assembleia da República]], the high courts, etc.). There were other changes, such as the end of the III Series. It is possible to buy the printed version of the I Series.
''Diário da República Electrónico'' is the public service of universal and free access. It requires a [[Portable Document Format|PDF]] [[List of PDF software|viewer]]. Users can search and access entire editions or a particular act, from 1910, in the case of the I Series, or 2000, in the case of the II Series. There are no known plans to backscan older copies.
Added value services are also available, which allow [[Boolean logic|Boolean search]], alerts on new legislation regarding subjects defined by the user, etc.
