Remote Online Notarization in Portugal

How Remote Online Notarization works in Portugal

Remote Online Notarization lets residents, businesses and expats in Portugal request notarial services entirely online, in English, Portuguese or any other language. Our certified notaries verify your identity, apply a legally recognized notarial seal and signature, and issue notarized documents accepted by Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Portugal (Ministério dos Negócios Estrangeiros de Portugal) and by ministries, courts, banks, registries and embassies worldwide.

Notary7 delivers every type of notarial act for Portugal — including all forms of signature notarization and certified true copy notarization, sworn declarations and corporate acts — issued digitally or, where required, with an original wet-ink signature and seal. In Portugal, documents often require an Apostille for international recognition due to the country being a signatory to the Hague Apostille Convention. For countries not party to this convention, consular legalization by the Portuguese Ministry of Foreign Affairs is necessary. Ensure all documents are translated into Portuguese by a certified translator if the original is in another language. Notarized documents from Notary7 are prepared to meet these specific Portuguese requirements for both internal and cross-border acceptance.
