The Portuguese Government has announced that as of yesterday, the Civil Registry Office has a new digital platform to receive and process citizenship applications. This platform will allow applications to be handled entirely electronically, from the submission of the initial documentation to the final decision.
Another relevant aspect of the platform is that communication with external entities, which is currently one of the steps that takes the longest, is now a fully electronic process.
This measure is a result of the Government’s commitment to modernise the systems and speed up the processing of citizenship applications.
According to official information, the platform is expected to increase the Civil Registry Office’s capacity to process applications by 50%, which should result in faster approval times for citizenship applications.
In addition, it is important to mention that a new portal has also been launched for applicants to monitor the progress of their citizenship applications.
EDGE will continue to monitor and follow up closely with the Civil Registry Office and we will provide regular updates as more information becomes available.
