## What Portugal accepts

- **Notary + New Jersey apostille.** Portugal is in the Apostille Convention; consular legalization is only for non-member countries. ([AIMA](https://aima.gov.pt/pt/temas-transversais/reconhecimento-de-documentos))

- **Certified Portuguese translation.** Certified by a Portuguese notary, registrar, lawyer or solicitador, a recognized chamber of commerce, or a Portuguese consul. Plan on one for a procuração.

- **Or the consulate.** Portuguese consulates also issue procurações. The Consulate General in Newark is in One Riverfront Plaza; confirm its services before you go.
