What if my document is not in a supported language?
If your documents (e.g. proof of address, proof of employment, etc.) are not in English, Portuguese, Spanish, or French, you will need to provide a certified translation of your documents. The certified translation must be in either English or Portuguese.
If certification is done outside Portugal, the document must be either of the following:
- Certified by a foreign notary with an apostille,
- Authenticated by the Portuguese consulate or embassy in the customer’s country of residence,
- Or authenticated by an official authority from the country of residence operating in Portugal.
If certification is done in Portugal:
It must be certified by a Portuguese notary, lawyer, or solicitor.
