Portuguese Documents for Use Abroad
Using a Portuguese document in another country? We prepare the complete document set, from the right certificate or certified copy through translation, apostille or consular legalisation, and prepare it for the country and organisation that will receive it.
Build the document around the destination
The first question is which document, which country and which recipient. Different destinations apply different authentication and translation rules, and some documents need no additional legalisation at all.
What we handle
- Confirm the exact Portuguese document or certificate the foreign recipient needs.
- Obtain a fresh record or certified copy when the existing document is not the right form.
- Check whether apostille, consular legalisation or no additional authentication applies.
- Prepare or arrange the required translation in the right order.
- Deliver one completed document package for the country and organisation that will receive it.
What to send us
- ·A scan of the Portuguese document you already have, if any.
- ·The destination country.
- ·The authority, court, bank, employer, university, registry or other recipient.
- ·Any written list of requirements from that recipient.
- ·The required language and deadline.
- ·Whether you need us to obtain a fresh Portuguese certificate first.
The file can usually start from a scan
Send the document and destination first. We check whether the existing document can be used or whether a fresh certificate or certified copy is better. Some Portuguese public documents going to another EU country fall under simplified rules and can avoid apostille or use multilingual forms. We check this before adding unnecessary steps.
