We provide comprehensive legal assistance for your Portuguese citizenship application
Portuguese citizenship is available to children, grandchildren, and spouses of Portuguese citizens, as well as legal residents who have lived in Portugal for more than five years. Descendants of living children or grandchildren can also apply for citizenship once their ancestors have obtained it, often extending eligibility to great-grandchildren and beyond.
Marriage, birth, death, and other certificates issued abroad must be transcribed to be legally valid in Portugal for use in citizenship applications. We handle the complete transcription process for all required documents.
Obtaining birth certificates of Portuguese ancestors is essential for citizenship applications. We conduct thorough searches in Portuguese archives to locate the necessary documents for your case.

Hello, I am Dra. Ana Paula Caldwell, I have dual nationality, Brazilian and Portuguese, and I am a lawyer specialized in Portuguese citizenship.
I am a master's student in European Union Law at the University of Minho (Braga, Portugal), graduated in Law from Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-RJ) and I am registered with the Brazilian Bar Association under n. 214.698 (OAB/RJ) and with the Portuguese Bar Association under n. 61214P.
In addition to my law degree, I also have a degree in Advertising.
I have always been very curious about everything that connects the world. With Advertising school I learned about how globalization brought places, once so distant, closer through products and brands, and when I entered law school, my interest in this subject grew even more, as I could study how Law and Justice shaped human relations as this global interaction grew.
Thus, when I had the opportunity to live in Portugal, I knew it would be a door to Europe, to explore the world and all the diversity and interaction that includes.
This is how Conecta Fronteiras was born. With the goal of helping people explore borders and thus explore the world!
Here, legal services are simple and accessible to everyone. Welcome!

Grandchildren, children and spouses of Portuguese citizens are entitled to obtain Portuguese citizenship, as well as legal residents who have lived in the country for more than five years. Descendants of living children or grandchildren of Portuguese citizens can also obtain Portuguese citizenship after their ascendants obtain it, which in many cases allows great-grandchildren to obtain Portuguese citizenship and eventually even great-great-grandchildren.

There is a stipulated deadline of up to 90 days for the Conservatories to analyze the process, but this is not what has been happening in practice for some years. Therefore, I present below time estimates according to current observations. In some situations, such as serious health cases, it is possible to try a request for urgency. It is also possible to try the legal route due to non-compliance with the deadline.
In any case, filing the citizenship process directly in Portugal is the fastest way to obtain Portuguese citizenship. The online Portuguese citizenship process is available for lawyers registered with the Portuguese Bar Association, allowing immediate filing of your process, avoiding the long wait for an appointment at a consulate.
