Certification services
If you need to certify, for example, your Danish citizenship, your signature or an official document for use in Portugal or Denmark, the Embassy can conduct a certification service subject to payment.
Requirements for your document and ID:
Your document must be original or a copy and complete. If the document refers to other documents or annexes, these must be included.
When requesting a certification of your signature, you must bring:
Legalisation/apostille of documents from Portugal for use in Denmark
Documents issued in Portugal, do not require a legalisation from the Embassy in order to be used in Denmark. You must instead contact the Procuradoria-Geral da República (Attorney General's Office) in Portugal who will legalise your document, according to the Apostille Convention.
You can find more information though the following link: Apostille | Public Prosecution Service of Portugal
For digital documents, the apostille can be done digitally as well. Please see the following link for more information: Apostila (only in Portuguese).
Translation of documents
If you need a document to be translated to Danish, Portugal or English for use in Portugal or Denmark, you should contact an authorized, local translator.
The Embassy only conducts minor translation tasks, such as Danish driver’s licenses, passports, birth certificates etc. For these services, please contact the Embassy by e-mail with a clear scan of the document.
