e-APP — the Public Prosecutor's Office portal for ordering an apostille

The website apostila.ministeriopublico.pt, where people in Portugal can order an apostille for a Portuguese document and book an in-person appointment. It is also where you fill in the application and pay the fee: a tenth of a unit of account, i.e. 10.20 euros.

Where you come across it. Certifying Portuguese documents for use in another country: a power of attorney, a certificate, a statement, a diploma.
This applies only to documents issued in Portugal. A document from the country you came from must be apostilled where it was issued. Documents are submitted to the Public Prosecutor's Office for your judicial district; Lisbon accepts them from the whole country.
