Portugal and Hague Convention

Portugal joined the Hague (Apostille) Convention on February 4, 1969. The Apostille Treaty is an agreement among more than 50 countries signed in the year of 1961. The target of the treaty was to abolish the requirements of consular legalization of the public documents meant for foreign countries, the parties to the directly above mentioned convention.

Therefore, if a document is meant to be presented before official authorities in Portugal, it is required to be apostilled in the other country – a member of the apostille agreement, in order to be accepted abroad.

Getting the documents intended for Portugal apostilled is not a difficult procedure. Yet, it is recommended to keep in mind that, each document is prepared in a different way. Let’s say, a document signed by an individual and notarized by a Notary Public, is typically prepared in two easy steps –authentication and apostille. While such documents as Vital Records, FBI Background Check Certificate, corporate and business documents, etc. require in–depth knowledge of which agencies and departments are involved in the process of obtaining apostille.

Consequently, if you are dealing with the documents for the first time, it is clever to retain professional Apostille services that will help you to save your time and money. Likewise, if prepared by the skilled notaries and Apostille agents in association with generally recognized procedures and international rules, your documents will be assured a 100% approval by foreign authorities.
