Why You Need a Notary for Portugal Documents
Portugal authorities — whether immigration, banking, legal, or professional licensing bodies — require that documents presented from Ireland bear the certification of a qualified notary public. A notarial certificate confirms the authenticity of the document and the identity of its signatory. For Portugal, this is then typically followed by an apostille or, in some cases, embassy legalisation.
