Portuguese Citizenship

Great-Grandchild

For whom it is intended:

If the Portuguese person’s child or grandchild is alive, they should arrange for their Portuguese nationality so that their great-grandchild can also apply for original nationality.

If the citizenship of the parent or grandparent cannot be dealt with first, the great-grandchild of a Portuguese citizen can apply for derived Portuguese citizenship, by naturalisation, because he or she is “considered to be a descendant of an original Portuguese citizen”.

It is a special case, the decision depends on the government’s judgement.

The great-grandchild who obtains by naturalisation acquires derived citizenship, but can then also pass on Portuguese citizenship to his or her spouse and children who are minors or who were born after acquiring citizenship.

Requirements:

Is over 18 years of age or emancipated according to Portuguese law.
Not having been convicted with a final judgement for an offence punishable by a prison sentence of three years or more, according to Portuguese law.
Not having been involved in terrorism-related activities
Proof that you are of Portuguese origin
Compile, among others, the following documents:
- Identification document
- Birth certificate
- Birth certificates of ascendants
- Criminal record of the country of birth and citizenship and of all countries where the applicant has resided after 16 years of age
The following preliminary procedure may occur:
- To locate the birth certificate of the Portuguese parent in Portugal – we can help.

We will analyse and compare the birth certificates of all generations, taking the opportunity to detect any inconsistencies in the documents that may be hindering the process.

Process:

Framing the entitlement and determining the best strategy for the client and their family.
Guidance on the issue and legalisation of foreign documents by the client.
Submission of the file to the competent registry/court/sector in Portugal and regular monitoring of progress.
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.
