How can I make an online appointment?
Online appointments can only be done through the Portal das Comunidades. If you have any difficulties, please refer to this Guide.
Can the Consulate General help me find someone (whereabouts)?
Due to personal data protection law, a Portuguese Consulate cannot inform the address or other contact details of Portuguese citizens registered at the Consulate.
However, in specific cases which are justified , we send the request to the recipient's address (if known to us), with the contact details that have been provided , leaving it to the citizen to contact you directly or transmit us the message they want to be forwarded.
It is recommended that these or other issues regarding residents in this area, are sent by e-mail.
Where can I find a translator and/or interpreter?
A translator in Australia must be accredited by NAATI.
The Consulate General of Portugal in Sydney offers a list of translators and interpreters, in alphabetical order, nevertheless recommendations are not given, as this is not a service provided by the Consulate.
If you are a translator or interpreter accredited in Australia and want to join our list, please contact us by e-mail.
