Marriage Registration in Portugal:

Simplifying the Process for Israeli Citizens with Portuguese Nationality

Portuguese law requires all citizens to maintain accurate and up-to-date civil status records. If you hold Portuguese citizenship, registering your marriage is not just a formality—it’s a legal obligation. Whether you are newly married or have a second marriage to register, our specialized services are here to guide you through this important process with ease and efficiency.

Why Marriage Registration is Important

Registering your marriage ensures that your marital status is officially recognized in Portugal, granting you access to rights and benefits under Portuguese law. For second marriages, the process involves registering the previous marriage and subsequent divorce before transcribing the new marriage.

Required Documents for Marriage Registration

To initiate the process, the following documents are needed:

1. Marriage certificate with an apostille
2. Birth certificate of the non-Portuguese spouse with an apostille
3. A simple copy of the Portuguese spouse’s birth certificate
4. Copies of both spouses’ identification documents
5. Certificate of name change, if applicable, with an apostille
6. Power of attorney granting authority to request the marriage registration (prepared by us based on your provided details)

Our team also ensures that all documents are translated and certified according to Portuguese legal standards, saving you time and hassle.
