In Portugal, civil-status certificates are issued by the Conservatórias do Registo Civil, and most files require the full narrative certificate (certidão narrativa) rather than a simple extract.
We also handle the criminal record certificate and apostille where the document will be used outside Portugal.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a narrative certificate?
