Adding Spouse
Register a spouse on an existing citizenship, including the forms and supporting papers.
Processing time: Several weeks
São Tomé & Príncipe
Overview
This service adds a spouse to an existing São Tomé and Príncipe citizenship. The authority will want proof of the marriage and identity papers for both people. It does not itself issue the spouse a passport. That can be requested once the spouse is on the record.
We prepare the file, lodge it, and follow it until the spouse is added or the authority asks for more.
What's included
- A check of the marriage record and both passports
- Filing the addition with the São Tomé and Príncipe authority
- Follow-up until the spouse is added
- A note on the passport application that can follow
Documents
What to send
Passport

Passport-style photo
A photo of the spouse, if the authority asks for one.
Process
- Send the marriage record and passport scans for both spouses.
- We prepare the addition and send the quote.
- The file is lodged with the authority.

Fees
Price on request
You receive a quote before any filing starts. It separates the CitizenX fee from government charges, courier costs, and legalization. Those extras are added only when they apply, and only after you approve them.
Government and third-party charges are confirmed in the quote when they apply.
Questions
No. Send the marriage certificate and we will file the addition against the existing São Tomé and Príncipe citizenship.
Usually no. We say so if the authority wants biometrics in person.
You approve the quote before the addition is filed.
