Citizenship for Minors
Citizenship for minors in Portugal born from a Sephardic Jew parent that has already obtained the citizenship
Introduction
The Citizenship for minors is the procedure many recent portuguese citizens seek to complete their family passports. After adults get the citizenship usually the Minors kids are also elegible. They’re allowed to apply for citizenship according to the law for Sephardi Jews and Portuguese Nationality Law, which allows to receive the citizenship in a relatively straightforward procedure.
Anyhow the process of filing a Portuguese citizenship application for a citizenship to a minor can be made only after the parent has received citizenship – so for your minors to be eligible one of the parents needs to have a Portuguese birth certificate in hand.
