Organic Law no. 1/2026

You may already be a Portuguese citizen

The path runs through a Portuguese parent, or a Portuguese grandparent by origin. A great-grandchild is not this application. You order the records. We draft the declaration.

How it works

Four steps, the right Portuguese path

The chat places you as a child or a grandchild. You order the records. We draft the declaration.

Eligibility chat

My grandfather was born in Lisbon — which path am I on?

Linha Reta

That is the grandchild path. Tell me his birth year and where your parent was born so we can separate it from a child claim.

01

Talk to the AI

Say whether the Portuguese relative is a parent or a grandparent, and where and when they were born. The answer separates the two paths.

02

Build the chain

Each generation sits on the form the IRN expects for that path. A child and a grandchild do not use the same form.

03

Order the records and upload

You order the certificates. We read the file and mark what is missing. We do not fetch the document for you.

04

Download the package

You get the declaration for your path, the document list, and what is still yours: apostille, certified translation, the IRN fee, and, for a grandchild, the 2026 requirements.

Built for people seeking Portuguese citizenship from Brazil

A list per person. The checklist follows the generation. A child and a grandchild do not use the same set.

A child of a Portuguese citizen and a grandchild are different applications. A great-grandchild is not in this service.
