In accordance with Article 1 of the Portuguese Civil Registry Code, Portuguese citizens are obliged to update the acts of civil life in Portugal, which often becomes relevant for obtaining Portuguese nationality.
Marriage transcription is a mandatory and decisive act of registration in many cases to prove filiation and to be able to confirm the right to Portuguese nationality.
The records of prenuptial agreements and changes to the property regime, as well as the regulation of the exercise of parental authority, are acts that assume special relevance in an increasingly global jurisdiction.
Being a Portuguese citizen, and even residing abroad, is particularly important that you are aware of the obligation and the advantages of updating such acts in the Portuguese Civil Registry.
