Your country can change the document route

The Portuguese marriage process becomes more complex when one or both partners are foreign citizens. Birth certificates, certificates of matrimonial capacity, apostilles, certified translations, previous marriages and name differences can all depend on the country where the document was issued.

That is exactly where Marry in Portugal helps. We do not leave you to guess what a Portuguese registry may accept. We check your situation, explain the route and prepare the process before you travel.
