Notarial Translation Package for Portuguese Citizenship
The notarial translation package for Portuguese citizenship includes translation of all documents required to apply for Portuguese nationality under the Portuguese Law of Return (Lei da Nacionalidade). Many Israelis of Sephardic Jewish descent are eligible for Portuguese citizenship, and the application process requires notarial translation of several documents from Hebrew to Portuguese or English, accompanied by apostille. At BEITON & Co we offer a complete package — translation, notarial certification, and apostille for all documents — so you can submit a complete application without running between offices.
What does the Portuguese citizenship translation package include?
The package includes notarial translation of all required documents — birth certificate, marriage certificate (if applicable), ID card, population registry extract, police clearance certificate, and additional documents as needed. Each document is translated, signed, and certified by a licensed notary under the Notaries Law, 1976 (חוק הנוטריונים, תשל״ו-1976), and then receives a court apostille. The apostille is based on the Hague Convention of 1961 and gives the documents legal validity in Portugal.
