Who we help
Non-resident foreign couples getting married in Portugal
You do not need to live in Portugal to make the route possible. We prepare the process before you travel, coordinate the registry date and guide you through one official appointment in Portugal.
The key is preparation before travel
For non-resident couples, the main risk is arriving in Portugal before the document route is clear. Registry questions, missing documents, expired certificates or translation issues can turn a simple plan into weeks or months of delay.
Marry in Portugal prepares the route before you travel. We check the case, guide the document preparation, coordinate the registry process and arrange the interpreter when needed.
Come for the official appointment
Once the process is ready and the date is coordinated, the couple comes to Portugal for the official civil marriage appointment.
After registration, the couple can leave the same day officially married with the Portuguese marriage certificate. If apostille, certified translation or delivery is needed later, those steps can be coordinated separately.

Come for one day, or stay for Portugal
Some couples come only for the official appointment and leave the same day. Others stay for a few days and enjoy Portugal - the ocean, the light, the food, the people and the calm.
Our service is the legal route, not travel planning. But the country is part of the experience.

How many times do we need to travel to Portugal?
In the managed route, the couple comes for one official registry appointment. We prepare the process before travel so the visit is focused on the official registration.
Can we leave Portugal the same day?
