  • Original document(s) to legalise. Documents will need to be translated into Portuguese, notarised and attested at the Foreign & Commonwealth Development Office before the embassy will accept them. VisaSmart Travel Solutions Ltd can provide these services for you where required.

Important Information
If this service has any special requirements, processes or rules they will be listed here. If applicable to this service, please read this section carefully to ensure you fully understand the entirety of the process.

Before the embassy can legalise a document, they must be translated, Notarised & Attested by the FCDO. You can supply

documents with this process already completed or select the options you need in our application pack above. The Notary authorisation form attached should only be completed if you require us to have your documents notarised.


Documents should be no more than 1 month old for the full service or 2 months old if applying for the embassy legalisation only if you

intend on using them for a work. This does not include academic/training certificates which should still be valid regardless of when they were issued.


Processing time in the embassy is usually 10-20 business days but can take longer. If you require the full service to include

translation, notary & attestation, please allow an additional 2-3 weeks depending on the FCDO service you select.


The legalisation service can only be completed in the UK for documents that were issued in the UK or Northern Ireland. If

your documents have been issued overseas, you will need to have them legalised in the issuing country. Should you still

require assistance with this, please let us know as we have associates all around the world ready to assist.


For translations, the charge is per page while our service fee is payable just once regardless of the number of pages. (For example, if you need 10 pages to be translated, the charge would be £360.00 + £40.00.)


For Notarisations, our third party solicitor will charge per set of documents while our service fee is payable per visit. For example, if you have a CV consisting of 3 pages, it becomes 1 set of documents once the translation has been completed, so the notary will charge for 1 set at £60.00 plus our service fee of £60.00. If you have 4 sets of documents (CV, medical, Police certificate & academic/training certificates), the notary will charge for 4 sets at £240.00 but our service fee would still be £60.00. This works in the same way with the FCDO attestation & embassy legalisation, with the governing charges payable per set of documents but our charge payable only once per visit. If you require a quote for documents, please email

admin@visasmart.co.uk or call us on 020 4513 9940.
