Portuguese citizenship by ancestry eligibility test

The Portugal citizenship by ancestry eligibility test takes 2-3 minutes to complete. You will answer 3-4 questions about your Portuguese heritage, starting with your country of residence, followed by questions about your Portuguese ancestors.

No documents are required for this preliminary assessment. You only need basic knowledge about your Portuguese ancestry (such as whether your parent or grandparent was born in Portugal). Birth certificates, passports, and other official records will only be needed later if you decide to proceed with your citizenship application.

Answer based on what you currently know about your family history. If you're uncertain about specific details—such as whether your ancestor was born in Portugal or their exact relationship to you—you can explain your situation in the "Additional Information" field when you submit your contact details. Harvey Law Group's team will help clarify these details during your personalized consultation.

No. This is a preliminary screening tool designed to quickly assess whether you may qualify for Portuguese citizenship by ancestry based on Portugal's nationality law. A definitive eligibility determination can only be made after Harvey Law Group's immigration attorneys review your complete family documentation, genealogical records, and personal circumstances.

After submitting your test, Harvey Law Group's Portugal citizenship specialists will review your preliminary assessment within 1-2 business days. You will receive a personalized email evaluation that outlines your potential eligibility, explains the required documentation for your specific case, provides estimated timelines, and details the next steps to begin your citizenship application process.

All information you provide through the Portugal citizenship eligibility test is treated as confidential client information. Your data is encrypted, stored securely, and used exclusively by Harvey Law Group to assess your eligibility and communicate with you about your case.

Harvey Law Group's team typically responds to eligibility test submissions within 1-2 business days via email.

Use the "Additional Information" field to provide context that helps our team evaluate your case more accurately. Helpful details include: your Portuguese ancestor's approximate birth year or location in Portugal, whether you have any existing documentation (birth certificates, old passports), if you know your ancestor's Portuguese citizenship status, any family stories about your Portuguese heritage, or specific questions about your eligibility. The more context you provide, the more tailored our initial evaluation can be.

Yes. The Portugal citizenship eligibility test is fully optimized for mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers. The form automatically adapts to your screen size, making it easy to complete the assessment on any device. Your progress is maintained if you need to switch devices, though we recommend completing the test in one session for the best experience.

Your country of residence helps Harvey Law Group provide a more accurate assessment and personalized guidance. Different countries have varying requirements for document authentication (apostille or legalization), and some countries have specific treaties with Portugal that may affect processing times. Additionally, your residence location determines which Harvey Law Group office will handle your case and whether you'll need to visit a Portuguese consulate or can handle certain steps remotely.
