Resumo:

This article seeks to justify why it is possible to speak about a culture of background investigations in Portugal, or even in the Iberian Peninsula, especially in the 17th-18th centuries. It will emphasize three points: the huge number of people who made qualifications in Portugal and in the overseas Empire; how it created specialized knowledge and the need for specialized officers to deal with it; to demonstrate how the culture of qualification conditioned behaviors in different social groups.
