You must also be aware that it is not only the transcription of marriage of the parents that is mandatory but also the transcription of birth of one of the parents being portuguese progenator at the central registration office in Lisbon. Unless and Until you prove the fillial relationship you will not be able to transcribe your birth for acquisition of Portuguese Nationality. Kindly check with your lawyer in Lisbon if he has taken the necessary steps of drawing the fillial relationship between you and the Portuguese Progenitor. Your Lawyer may be misguiding you. Kindly Check...
