What to do when the Portuguese citizenship process is stuck?
If your application for Portuguese citizenship is stuck at a certain stage, it is important to identify the reasons and act strategically.
Common reasons for delays
- Incomplete or inconsistent documentation: Incorrectly completed or missing certificates are one of the main obstacles.
- Overload in the Registry Offices: The increase in orders has caused delays in processing.
- Lack of status update: Often, the applicant does not receive clear information about the progress of the process.
Practical Tips to Unlock the Process
- Review documents: Check that all are correct and up to date.
- Send additional information: Respond promptly to any request from authorities.
- Contact the Registry Offices: A formal request can speed up the review.
If none of these actions resolve the issue, it may be necessary to seek legal action.
