A clear Portuguese route for international couples

This is especially useful for mixed-nationality couples, non-residents, expats and couples with documents from more than one country.
The document file must fit Portuguese registry expectations
France-connected cases may involve French documents, foreign partner documents, previous marriages, name differences, apostilles, certified translations and residence-related questions. A Portuguese registry may ask for clarification if the file is not prepared properly.
We check the route and coordinate the Portuguese process.
