Portuguese Passport for Goans – Church Documents

First it was the sub – register that was making it difficult for the aspiring applicant of the Portuguese Nationality.  Now the church is making it difficult to procure the photocopies of the original certificate to produce it to the Portuguese Consulate in Goa.  Our local parish priest informed me that the Bishop has requested not to issue the photocopies of the original documents. The Portuguese Consulate in Goa accepts the extracts of these certificates but the cost increases as these extracts are available in English Language only and the extracts needs to be translated in Portuguese to submit for the Portuguese Nationality for Goans.  The public should send letters to the bishops palace and the news paper editors expressing the difficulties faced due to above said.
