The challenge
Foreign documents can make the Portuguese marriage process slow and confusing
When one or both partners are foreign citizens, the Portuguese civil registry may need to review documents from another country, translations, apostilles, previous marriages, name differences or certificates of matrimonial capacity.
For couples trying to do it alone, this can become months of emails, unclear requests and waiting for a date.
Marry in Portugal exists to make this route clear, managed and human.
Our service
We handle the route for you
We check your situation, explain what documents are needed, prepare the filing path, coordinate with the civil registry, arrange the interpreter and guide you through the official appointment.

Who we work with
Who we help
Marry in Portugal is designed for couples whose marriage route involves at least one foreign element.
EU + non-EU couples
We manage the Portuguese process for couples with different citizenship systems and document requirements.
Two foreign citizens
Whether you live in Portugal or come from abroad, we help prepare the route before the official appointment.
Non-resident couples
You do not need to live in Portugal to use the official civil marriage route. We prepare the process before you travel.
Expats in Portugal
You live in Portugal, but your documents come from elsewhere. We help turn that into a workable registry process.
Complex documents
Previous divorce, name differences, missing certificates or unusual document formats can be managed with the right preparation.
The jurisdiction
Why Portugal
Portugal can be a practical European route for foreign and mixed-nationality couples who want an official civil marriage without starting with a long local bureaucracy elsewhere.
You get a Portuguese marriage certificate after registration. With apostille and certified translation when needed, the certificate is prepared for use in countries that accept apostilled public documents.
And if you want, you can stay for a few days and enjoy Portugal — the light, the ocean, the food, the people and the calm.
