What is the purpose of notarization?

Notarization serves as an official fraud-deterrent process that assures the parties of a transaction that a document is authentic and can be trusted. It is a declaration by a notary that the signature on a document is genuine.

How long does the notarization process typically take?

The timeline can vary depending on the document's complexity and the notary's schedule, but we strive to complete the process within a few business days. We will provide a more precise timeline after our initial document review.

Do I need to be physically present in Portugal?

In many cases, you do not need to be present. Through a power of attorney, we can represent you and handle the entire notarization process on your behalf, offering you convenience and peace of mind.
