CONSULAR REGISTRATION

Proof of this can be obtained in the form of Consular Registration Certificate, indicating that he/she is registered at the Consulate of his/her area of jurisdiction.

Portuguese nationals are required to register at the Embassy/Consulate of Portugal, of their respective jurisdiction.
