What is it?

Authentic documents issued abroad in accordance with the law of that country, and private documents drawn up outside of Portugal, legalized by a foreign public official, are considered legalized under Portuguese law as long as the signature of the public official is recognized by a Portuguese diplomatic or consular agent in the respective State and the signature of this agent is authenticated with the respective consular seal.

Recognition consists of the notarial certification of the authorship of the signature, or of the letter and signature, affixed to a private document.
