Context & Explainers
A Consulate‑General (Consulado‑Geral) is Portugal’s main diplomatic office in a major foreign city that provides consular services like passports, civil registration, legal help and in-person voting for citizens abroad. For expats, the Consulate‑General is often the place you must travel to to vote in national elections and to register for consular services, so check its website for opening hours, location and voter-registration deadlines.
A consulate is a local office representing a foreign country in a city outside the capital that provides consular services such as passport renewal, notary services, help for citizens in distress and often handles voting arrangements for nationals abroad. For example, Brazilians in Portugal commonly use Brazilian consulates (or the embassy) to register and vote in elections, so check which consular district covers your address before you travel to vote.
