I believe, in the past, a change of address required a visit to the dreaded SEF/AIMA. A google search now implies that one can do it by:

Sep 11, 2023 — The change of address of the Citizen Card can be done on the ePortugal portal, authenticating with Citizen Card or Digital Mobile Key (CMD).

What is the opinion/experience of members of the forum? Has anybody tried to get the details on their residency card changed through this agency, or does one have to deal with the unresponsive AIMA?

The option you mention is only valid for Portuguese citizens, and that change can be made via citizen card readers + Digital Mobile Key (CMD).

Unfortunately, you should contact the AIMA/SEF for an appointment to have your residence card reissued with the new address.

You need to take with you a proof of new address: such as rental agreement, house deed, or utility bill.

Disappointing and dreading the task, but thank you for the information, Johnny.
