For marriages in Portugal, we will take your application in at Embassy London, and we will forward a copy of it to our Embassy in Lisbon. The Irish Embassy in Lisbon will produce the Letter of Freedom to Marry in Portugese.
If you were born in the Republic of Ireland, we will also send your original birth certificate to Lisbon. Our Embassy in Lisbon will then translate your birth certificate in to Portugese.
If you were born elsewhere, you can either have your birth certificate translated by a translator in the UK, OR you can have your birth certificate translated in Portugal (the Irish Embassy in Lisbon can provide a list of translators).
The fee for Irish-born Irish citizens is £32 (for production of a Letter of Freedom to Marry and translation of your birth certificate).
The fee for Irish citizens who were born elsewhere is £16 (for production of a Letter of Freedom to Marry).
All documents can then be either collected from the Embassy in Lisbon, or posted out to a nominated contact in Portugal.
