Foreign Marriage Registration

A Portuguese Marriage Certificate (Certidão de Casamento) is an official civil registry document that records a marriage performed or registered in Portugal. Issued by the Instituto dos Registos e do Notariado (IRN), this certificate contains comprehensive information about the marriage including the names of both spouses, date and place of marriage, and details of the civil or religious ceremony.

Portuguese marriage certificates are essential documents for various legal purposes including immigration applications, name changes, property transactions, and proving marital status internationally. The certificate reflects the current status of the marriage, including any annotations for divorce, annulment, or death of a spouse.

Portugal recognizes both civil marriages performed at the Civil Registry Office and religious marriages (primarily Catholic) that have been civilly registered. Since 2010, Portugal also recognizes same-sex marriages, and certificates for these unions are issued with the same legal standing as traditional marriages.

To obtain a Portuguese marriage certificate independently:

Online on the official IRN service

The request is made on the official IRN certificate service, and anyone can request their own certificate or another person's. You identify yourself with a Cartão de Cidadão, the Chave Móvel Digital, or the professional certificate of a lawyer, notary or solicitador. The official service does not publish one guaranteed processing time.

In Person at Conservatória do Registo Civil

Visit any Civil Registry Office (Conservatória) or Loja de Cidadão in Portugal with identification. You'll need to provide the names of both spouses and approximate date of marriage. The certificate can often be issued on the same day.

For Religious Marriages

If the marriage was performed in a church before civil registration became mandatory, the record may be in parish archives. Most historical church records have been transferred to civil registries, but some research may be required.

Important Note

Marriage certificates reflect current status. If there has been a divorce, the certificate will show this annotation. For some purposes, you may need both the marriage certificate and divorce decree.
