Task Description

Please request a police clearance certificate (PCC) from the country where you have been living for the past year. The PCC needs to be translated into English (or Portuguese if you prefer). Additionally, you must have it apostilled (or undergo an equivalent process if the country you are applying from is not part of the Apostille of Hague* Convention).

You also need to demonstrate that you do not have a criminal record in Portugal. For this, we will prepare a form that authorizes the embassy and AIMA to check your criminal record here.

*An apostille is a form of authentication that simplifies the process of legalising and authenticating public documents so they can be recognised internationally in foreign countries that are members of the 1961 Hague Convention Treaty.

If you are applying from the UK the PCC does not need to be apostilled.

If you are applying from the USA the PCC needs to be kept sealed in the FBI envelope to avoid having to be apostilled.
