Portuguese Passport For Goans - Birth Registration

 Portuguese Passport Process - 
Birth Registration in Portugal for person born before 1961
The Portugal recognizes all persons born in Goa, Daman & Diu born on or before 19th December 1961 to be Portuguese citizens. Since the Portuguese Government does not have any records of these Portuguese Citizens they are required to do their Birth Transcription in Portugal. The Birth Transcription is done at the Conservatoria dos Registos Centrais in Lisboa Portugal.
The Documents required for Birth Transcription in Portugal are:
1. Birth Certificate.
2. Residence Certificate.
3. Residence Certificate to prove your residence in Goa from 1.1.1974 to 31.12.1975.
4. Photo ID Card (Optional)
5. Original Document (Optional)
Birth Certificate
Birth Certificate should be from the Sub – Register only. It can be in "TEOR" or Extract. If the Birth Certificate is not in Portuguese than it has to be translate in Portuguese Language.
Residence Certificate
Residence Certificate has to be from the Panchayat or the Mamladar which should clearly state that you are a resident of Goa, Daman or Diu from birth and also during the period from 1.1.1974 – 31.12.1975.
Residence Certificate to Prove your Residence in Goa from 1.1.1974 – 31.12.1975
This certificate should state/prove that you have been a continuous resident of Goa or Daman or Diu during the year 1.1.1974 to 31.12.1975
Photo ID Card
This document is Optional and it can be any Photo ID Card issued by the Government. Eg: Passport, Election Card etc etc. You can still apply for Portuguese Nationality if you don't have this document.
Original Document
Any document issued by the Portuguese Government Administration with the Portuguese Emblem on it.
