Who runs the Portuguese Embassy?

Maria Clara Nunes Pinto Capelo Ramos Nunes dos Santos heads the embassy as ambassador; the Dutch protocol list gives 29 March 2023 as the date of the presentation of credentials. The Hague is the seat of the Dutch government and of international institutions such as the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court and the OPCW, so many embassies in the city also follow their work.

The consular section typically handles:

• Portuguese passports and emergency travel documents
• Registration of births, marriages and deaths
• Certification and legalisation of documents
• Powers of attorney and notarial acts
