Who we help
EU and non-EU couples getting married in Portugal
When one partner is an EU citizen and the other is a non-EU citizen, the marriage route can involve different document systems, future family plans and cross-border administration. We handle the Portuguese civil marriage process so the couple can focus on the result, not the bureaucracy.
Different citizenships often mean different document paths
An EU and non-EU couple may need documents issued under different legal systems, in different languages and with different legalization requirements. A civil registry in Portugal will not simply ignore those differences.
If the file is not prepared correctly, the process can become slow and unclear. That is exactly the kind of friction Marry in Portugal is built to remove.
We make the Portuguese route manageable
We check the couple's situation, identify the document route, explain what each partner must prepare and coordinate the registry process in Portugal. When an interpreter is needed, we arrange it. When a document needs translation or apostille guidance, we explain the next step.
The couple does not need to walk into the process alone.
