My father was born in madeira but immigrated to south africa. I was born in south africa but now live in london. I would like to apply for for portuguese nationality. How would I go about it? Also I am aware that I would need to apply for my fathers birth certificate,if he is still alive could I apply for it or does he have to? Also how would I go about translating my mothers and mine birth certificates and having them notarized?:confused:

If your father failed to report birth overseas, and you are older than 18, you may not be eligible.

You'd better contact the nearest consulate.
