04. Approval of divorce in Portugal
Need to register your divorce in Portugal?
"It is the obligation of the Portuguese citizen to keep his
marital status updated in your documentation".
The process of acquiring Portuguese nationality often involves updating the marital status in the Portuguese registry of the interested party or their ascendants and/or spouse. This is what often happens with Brazilians who intend to acquire Portuguese citizenship.
In the case of divorces decreed abroad, especially in a country not belonging to the European Union, it is necessary to carry out the transcription of the same in the central registry in order to be valid and effective in Portugal. However, this is an act that cannot be requested directly. to the registry office, nor to the consulate of the applicant's residence district. It is necessary to proceed with the judicial approval of the foreign divorce, an act of competence of the Court of Appeal and can only be requested through representation by a lawyer duly qualified in Portugal. The same is true for divorces decreed within the European Union before March 1, 2001.
Only after recognition of the decision by the Court of Appeal can the divorce finally be registered with a Civil Registry Office. Our services include the application and follow-up until the divorce transcript at the central registry office.
