Many people are waiting for the issuance of the certificate and we would like to inform you that the Federation (FCJE), continues to work and proof of this is that we have received several certificates during the quarantine period from various members of a family group.

Certificate of Sephardic origin.

Due to the progressive implementation of emergency measures to combat the Coronavirus COVID-19 in different countries, the FCJE informs:
- The FCJE continues to work for the issuance of certificates of Sephardic origin on its platform: https: //certificadosefardies.fcje.org/. All applications received to date are being processed as well as those that continue to be received.
- Applicants who have an appointment with the Notary in the next month can arrange a new date of appearance.
- Applicants who are awaiting the granting of nationality must wait to receive the Consulate's communication.
Exams at the Instituto Cervantes:
- The March and April CCSE examinations are cancelled in all countries. All those enrolled in these two examinations will be transferred to the May and June examinations of the same year, respectively.
- The April and May DELE exams are cancelled in all countries. Your candidates will be assigned to subsequent DELE exams in order to retain the possibility of taking the exams without repeating the registration process.
The Cervantes Institute, which strictly follows the instructions of the competent authorities in each country and region, warns that the health situation due to the coronavirus is changing and that, therefore, there will probably be new modifications, which will be communicated as they occur.

Remember that you can apply for Portuguese nationality even if your Sephardic ancestry is of Spanish origin.
Portuguese legislation makes no distinction between Sephardim from Spain or Portugal. It considers all those descendants of the Jewish communities expelled from the Iberian Peninsula.
