Really? Can a government agency get away with this??
Unbeleivable! I have been calling for weeks, leaving message after message indicating my need for someone to call me back so that I can make an appointment. All I have to do is make an appointment. Portuguese consulate in Newark makes the DMV look exceptionally confident. Scary.

No customer service
This is the 6th time I called and nobody ever return my call with information....It is sad that we have this representation here in this country where are millions of Portuguese that need some help from this Consulate and they don't care.

May I suggest when calling the Portuguese Consulate you try very hard to speak Portuguese. Yes call (973)643-2000. I am an owner of Portuguese/American Agency and I go to the Consulate often for document authentications will make then aware of this comments.

Absolutely NO customer service/responsiveness
Do not bother calling or emailing this consulate you will never get a response or someone to answer. They do not answer the phones. You have to physically go there to make appointments or get anything done. I tried calling for nearly 3 weeks as I am not local, left 4 voicemails and emailed multiple times and never got any responses. I finally had to take the time off from work to go, and when you are physically there everything is simple and prompt and friendly, but you can actually see them IGNORING the phones. I understand if you have alot of work to do, but then either hire more people or get a site up for self help so people calling have answers to the simple questions like what paperwork they need to bring etc.

Absolutely horrible experience with this embassy. God forbid you were arrested or needed help from them without the ability to get there, i don't know what a Portuguese citizen would do. Someone of authority needs to seriously make some changes to the way they operate because it is an abomination to what is supposed to be an accessible foundation for citizen support.
