According to the information available, the following documents must be submitted to the Portuguese authorities in cases where a Danish national wishes to marry a Portuguese national in Portugal, or where two Danish nationals wish to marry in Portugal:
When submitting the application for marriage to the competent authority (Registo Civil), the parties must – in addition to providing personal details – also state whether they wish to marry in a church or civil ceremony, and whether a prenuptial agreement will be entered into prior to the marriage (please note that Portuguese law does not recognise the drawing up of a prenuptial agreement after the marriage has taken place).
The application must be submitted in person or by an authorised representative.
The documents mentioned in points 1–2, together with any power of attorney, must be translated into Portuguese by a state-authorised translator. The Embassy can provide the translation for a fee.
The documents must then be legalised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Both when submitting the application and during the wedding ceremony, the parties must be accompanied by an interpreter, unless they are proficient in Portuguese.
Provided the documentation submitted is in order, the wedding must take place within 6 months from the date on which the documents were approved by the competent Portuguese authority.
