The government administration in Goa has made some grave errors which hamper many legal procedures. The Conservatoria dos Registos Centrais does not accepts if you names are not in sync on all the certificated there are required to apply for the birth registration to obtain Portuguese Passport or Portuguese Nationality. I suggest to each and every applicant to obtain the birth "TEOR" first and and than the other documents. Why because the birth "TEOR" cannot be changed or altered but the rest of the required certificates for Portuguese Passport can be changed or altered.
Consider yourself lucky if the names on all the certificates are in sync with each others. If they are not in synch or are in different order than you have to get a divergence certificate. The procedure to procure a divergence certificate is mentioned HERE.
On being issued a Divergence Certificate is also best to do a Jurat. I suggest using the services of professional Notary Public who has sufficient knowledge of Portuguese and ask him to do the Jurat. To know more about the Notaries who do the Jurat click HERE.
Jurat: A jurat is the official written statement by a notary public that he or she has administered and witnessed an oath or affirmation for an oath of office, or on an affidavit - that is, that a person has sworn to or affirmed the truth of information contained in a document, under penalty of perjury, whether that document is a lengthy deposition or a simple statement on an application form. The simplest form of jurat and the oath or affirmation administered by a notary are:
{Jurat: "Sworn (or affirmed) to before me this ........ day of ........, 20 ......"
Oath: "Do you solemnly swear that the contents of this affidavit subscribed by you is correct and true?"
Affirmation (for those opposed to swearing oaths): "Do you solemnly, sincerely, and truly declare and affirm that the statements made by you are true and correct?"}
