Portuguese Citizenship

Civil Registration Changes

For whom it is intended:

Portuguese citizens who wish to register or transcribe any change to their civil registration that will be recorded in the birth certificate.

The most common changes to registration data are name change and gender reassignment, although adoption, parental responsibility, disqualification and interdiction, curatorship of absentees and presumed death can also be registered.

When a change is registered abroad, it must be transcribed to Portugal to be recorded in the birth certificate, since Portuguese citizens have the obligation to transcribe to Portugal the acts and facts of their life registered abroad.

Requirements:

  • Has Portuguese citizenship
  • Has changed a registration data abroad or wants to do it directly in Portugal
  • Compile, among others, the following documents:
    • Portuguese birth certificate
    • Other documents relating to the specific type of case

We will analyse and compare birth certificates and proof of residence documents, taking the opportunity to detect any inconsistencies in the documents that may impede the process.

Process:

  1. Framing the entitlement and determining the best strategy for the client and their family.
  2. Guidance on the issue and legalisation of foreign documents by the client.
  3. Submission of the file to the competent registry/court/sector in Portugal and regular monitoring of progress.
  4. Sending the final document to the client – be it the judgement, the civil registration certificate (birth, marriage, death), etc.

* In the citizenship process the client receives a certificate of the Portuguese birth certificate and has the obligation to request the issuance of the ->Citizen Card-> and in possession of the latter, if desired, it can also request the issuance of the ->Portuguese Passport->. Both documents can be issued at the Portuguese Embassy and/or Consulate or directly in Portugal. Ask us how.
