@aateixeira we cannot check your application status, you have to check it for yourself on the official IRN website with the passcode they provided to you, or by calling them.

We are not an official Portuguese government website, we ate just a web board where people can discuss about the citizenship application process.
Hi Community. I was hoping someone could assist me or direct me to someone that can assist. I applied for Portuguese Citizenship through marriage in Johannesburg. I submitted my application in July 2022 a d received my tracking reference number in October 2022. Since than my ball has been on step 1 and has not moved. I did not receive any communication to advise for outstanding documents. It is 21 months and reading other post some people have already completed the process while others are on step 4, 5 or 6 within same time period. Could someone please direct me where can i enquire about the process and where am i at?
i have a question my process shows in the new system the tick marks on first 2 balls and shows a pencil in the 3rd ball what stage is this on. does this mean all my documents are verified and it awaits for a decision to dispacth my document.
@ashleycolaco please note that they made a real mess while replacing the system, so the results any reliable so far, you should probably wait a week or two to be able to really see what's going on with your process.
That said, the 3rd 'ball' means they arr waiting for the answer of the external entities, like AIMA to proceed with your process.
Sorry my portuguese is bad. Today I saw my status and it says, Em alguma das fases de tramitação, foi requisitado ao requerente alguma informação ou documento extra que ainda não foi enviado. não recebi qualquer e-mail ou carta. Tentei ligar e enviar email e nada de resposta. O que posso fazer agora? Por favor, ajude.
@pillowfight from the screenshot you posted, it shows your case is awaiting decision.
Where does it say the text you posted? Please note that the text that appears when you hover the circle "i" letter, is just informative text to explain what each step means.
@LeoSantos olá leão, este é o meu estado. nunca recebi qualquer e-mail ou carta. liguei para o número várias vezes e sem sucesso. Também escrevi um e-mail hoje. O que posso fazer?
You should probably call the registry line (linha de registos):
Linha de Registos: +351 211 950 500
Press 1 when prompted, then 1 again.
I don't know if they can speak english or not there, so you probably wanna have google translator or something when calling. Better yet if you have someone who actually speaks Portuguese to call with you.
I don't know your timezone, but they start taking calls at 9am (Lisbon time) until 5pm there. Earlier you call, the better.
It can be very busy there, so be prepared to spend up to 1 or 2 hours on the phone, and if it hangs, just keep trying.
They can give accurate status of your application and explain what happened.

Dear all,
I would like to know your opinion on this.
My process was started in March 2024, till now its on ball 1, does its goes step by step or from ball 1 to straight ball 4?
I am aware it takes 3plus years to complete the process, however when should I expect my process to move ahead?
Looking forward to hear from you all expertise and experience wonderful people.
Thank you.
@Robin usually it stays on step (ball) 1 for two and half years or more, then it starts moving to ball 2, then 3, then 4 and jumps to 6 or 7.
Thank you for your feedback @LeoSantos.

@LeoSantos Thanks. But now my status changed, it no longer asks for it. Really weird system they have.
@pillowfight yea, I thought something was weird with your status, that's why I asked for more info.
Anyway, glad everything worked out for you.
Good luck
