Comments on this Consulate-General
You may consult with the advocates. But as per my knowledge marriage papers are required to prove your connection with your mother/parents.
A birth certificate isn’t enough.
If at all a child was born out of wedlock and only the mother's birth was registered in Portugal, can the child still apply for Portuguese nationality even though she was not formally married to my biological father? My birth certificate is the only proof of the connection between me and my mother whose birth is registered in Portugal.
Thanks Tom. Its strange, I tried contacting their offices, direct via telephone, email etc. to no avail. Last I had heard that the Advocate was not keeping too well.
Yes, I have heard they are still operating but very small team now
Does anyone know if MRA in Portugal is still operating?
Guys please be aware of giving out your case details to people online. Please don't give anyone your names, parent name, date of submission, agent name etc anywhere online or in any Whats app groups. You must be all aware of identity theft. Your case will be delayed further. Just a word of caution to my fello goans.
Expect the birth registration to be completed by twenty seven or eight. Until then I would suggest focus on your life and career. Passport will be done in the interim.
Sometimes we think of getting the passport and stating our lives abroad but the wait period for this is very long in reality and time is precious so utilise it well.
All the best !!!
Thank you for the information. I have a long wait then. You think in pandemic maybe few cases would have been submitted to CRC? So a possible speed up in the process factoring this period. It's too bad it's taking that long.
Before pandemic it would take two to two and a half years to complete. During pandemic period it became three to three and half years and Post pandemic things have become very slow and currently taking four to four and half years.
If things improve then registrations will come out sooner. But it doesn't look like things will improve.
Even for post sixty one formally it used to get done within a years time. Now it takes anywhere from one and half to two and a half years to get done. For bmc cases the time is longer.
