WHAT DOCUMENTS YOU NEED TO GET YOUR PORTUGUESE PASSPORT AND PORTUGUESE CITIZENSHIP IN GOA


If you or your parents or grandparents were born in Goa before December 19th 1961, you qualify to apply for your Portuguese citizenship.However, in order to get it, you need to go through the process, which although might seem complicated, still requires quite a lot of documents to be collected and submitted.Here’s a brief explanation of the documents you will need in order to apply for your Portuguese citizenship.




First of all, if you were born in Goa before December of 1961, you will need to have a certified birth certificate ( Teor) to prove it. Similarly, if your parents were born in Goa before December 19th 1961, and you are looking to get your Portuguese citizenship through one of your parents, then you need their birth certificate, for the same reason. And a step further: you can get your citizenship even if your grandparents were born in Goa during this time, so you will need to prove it in the same way – by getting the proper, required version of their birth certificate.

If you are getting your citizenship through your parents or grandparents, you will need to provide the documents to cover the whole timeline – so their marriage certificates also need to be sourced and collected, all in proper formats and languages.To round this up, you will also need the documents to prove your identity, issued by the government authority.It is very important to note that all the documents will need to be notarized by the authorized notary, and that also some of these documents will need to be translated in Portuguese too.Recently, it has also been made possible to get Portuguese citizenship through marriage, but in this case the marriage needs to be registered in Portugal for longer than 3 years.
