The price varies accordingly to the reason why you request the certificate.

In certain cases, the certificate may be free of charge

The certificates are free of charge if they are requested for:

• adoption processes
• nationality processes
• assistance or charity purposes, including obtaining State or local autarchies’ pensions (a proof document may be required)
• processes regarding occupational accidents (only if requested by the individual who suffered the accident, by his/her family members or by the court)
• processes to assign the Portuguese-Brazilian equality status
• legal support purposes
• individuals who may be under economic hardship - the evidence is carried out through a document issued by a competent administrative authority (for instance, the Social Security) or by a public social assistance institution in which the individual is hospitalized.

The free certificates cannot be used for other purposes.

If you must submit a proof of the exemption, you can only request the certificate in person.
