CIL announces changes to Sephardic process protocol
Considering the increase in the number of requests for proof of Sephardic origin, the Certification Service of the Israeli Community of Lisbon - CIL announced today, 06.02, changes in the form of protocol of requests.
The most important change will be in the way of sending the documents, which will now be 100% digital, through the official email of the entity. The digital files must be in PDF format and in a single document, which must contain the family tree, personal documents, application, certificates and genealogical report.

It is worth mentioning that, after being analyzed and approved, all documents must be sent on paper to the CIL archive, and only after their arrival in Lisbon will the certificate be issued.
With the new rules, the applicant will have a period of one week after sending the scanned documents to send the payment receipt by email. Another change will be regarding the validity of passports, which will now have to be valid for at least six months.
The good news is that the news aims to speed up the analysis and issuance of Sephardic certificates, reducing the waiting time of hundreds of applicants, mostly Brazilians, who are waiting for proof of their Jewish ancestry to start the process of Portuguese nationality. .
