The major issue is the failure of state authority, inside and outside this building of the Central Registry Office.
Attendance by face-to-face tickets distributed on the same day - tickets that may be sold, by users or intermediaries, "whoever gives more" -, the crowd that gathers at the door, the business of intermediaries (lawyers?) on the street, the regular overnight stay of all of them on a mattress, chair or simple cardboard on the floor, the realization of basic physiological needs in the open, the daytime and nighttime noise caused, the physical and verbal conflicts between all, etc, etc, are " only" consequence of the poor functioning of this Registry and the dismissal of those directly responsible (Registry and Notary Institute, PSP and respective Ministries) and indirect (Assembly of the Republic, Government and Presidency of the Republic).
Immediate suggestion: service only online.
The Conservatória dos Registos Centrais de Lisboa, located at Rua Rodrigo da Fonseca, Lisbon, has reached all the limits of lack of civility, morals and professionalism, allowing its users to be treated in an undignified and inhumane way, in addition to total disrespect for the residents, especially the ones on this block.
According to information obtained, several weeks ago, an organized group of lawyers (mostly Brazilians) who are literally living on the sidewalk, next to the Conservatory's door, in order to have priority service the next day. In exchange for a lot of money, these roadside lawyers live up to their name and "bench" on beach chairs and pieces of cardboard on the floor, to solve the processes of those who are not ready to stand in lines that reach around the corner and who will never have access to the service password. The scheme is well put together and taking advantage of a serious gap in the law, any foreign citizen can acquire a Portuguese passport only and only by proxy! And if you really want to guarantee citizenship, just pay the already famous Carolina, a Brazilian lawyer who sleeps 5 nights a week on the tour, next to her powerful top-of-the-range car with Spanish registration, which she, in exchange for very large bills, solves the process. , or rather 5 at a time. Theoretically, this group of lawyers is dealing with the cases of descendants of Sefraditas, whose deadline ends at the end of the month. But this prevents other users from having a chance to be attended, as there are still thousands of processes to follow up. Obviously this is a set up network that is protected by a mafia. Meanwhile, every day there are lines of lawyers on one side and frustrated users on the other. There are screams, scenes of violence and not even the cars can pass on the street with the angry crowd. In addition to this shameful and third-world situation, there is also the lack of hygiene resulting from these illicit encampments, as it is on the street that the needs are made and leftover food and all the trash you can imagine are dumped. All the media are called upon to come and see what is happening in the heart of the capital in the eyes of all, but only for the benefit of a few.
