What it is

This is IRN Form 6.1 for people applying for nationality by naturalisation on the grounds of legal residence. It gathers the applicant's personal and residence details. It is not the form for descendants of Portuguese citizens, and the application alone does not mean approval.

Frequently asked questions

How long do I need to have been resident?

The law sets conditions that may change. Please check the current requirement with the registry office; the Titus assistant helps you understand what the form asks, but does not decide eligibility.

Can I apply if my status is irregular?

The form is based on legal residence, so that requirement must be met.
