Could you please also confirm that the Aadhar card is not required? Noted on the marriage certificate.

Her Aadhaar card will be mandatorily required to register her birth.

Once the above is sorted (authentication of docs/Apostle stamp etc.) after submitting these docs to CRC, what is the ball park time frame of getting her birth registered/obtaining Portuguese nationality?

nobody can give you an answer to this question. it all depends on individual case to case.

Guidance plz
Dear all -

Good morning and happy Easter. My fathers birth has been registered in Portugal. My sister wants to begin her process of acquiring Portuguese nationality, but here is the challenge and require guidance on below:

A ) She does not have an Indian passport, never had one ( Is she required to apply for a new passport?)

Yes, a passport is mandatory hence she will have to apply for one in order to begin her nationality process.

B ) If yes, will it be advisable to have her married name or maiden name? The maiden name will have her surname, same as her fathers.

Since she is married, the indian passport will have her marital surname which is fine. Only ensure that her father's name on her indian passport is the same as his assento de nascimento.

B ) If passport is not required, can she use her Aadhar card as her ID? On the Aadhar card her name is correctly spelt as per her Indian birth certificate. Her last name/surname on Aadhar card is her married last name.

the indian passport is mandatory.

C) Her name is wrongly spelt on her marriage certificate. Will this cause a problem? If yes, what would be the correct procedure to have this fixed?

is it a court marriage or church marriage. either way, she will have to correct the erroneous name on the certificate. for church marriage record correction, get in touch with the parish office where the marriage took place for further guidance. for civil marriage, i suggest you consult a lawyer.
Dev borem korum. Thank you very much in advance. If anyone can provide me with guidance on how to proceed, will be much appreciated and forever greatful.

regards,

Kevin

NIF Number
MARIA

Thank you for your response.

I have read the contents of the link previously.

Anyway, to anyone interested in this matter, the Portuguese Public Services has clarified that the NIF number is already allocated to natural persons.

In case of those who acquired Portuguese citizenship via post colonization rights or through their parents Portuguese birth no NIF number is assigned. Therefore, in order to apply for an NIF number one has to either hold residence in Portugal or appoint a fiscal representative in Portugal for communication with local tax authoriites.

Everyone
That Bihari is no other than Lionel from Mumbai who is making michevious attempts just for fun here on this forum. He had been doing this shit since long time and those who object to it he starts abusing them personally whether she may be woman or man. So please avoid replying to his comments and make this forum edifying for all Portuguese passport seekers over here. Thank you!
