Apostille and legalization for Uruguay
How foreign documents are authenticated for use in Uruguay.
The apostille comes from the issuing country
An apostille is issued by the competent authority of the country that issued the document. Uruguay cannot apostille a document issued elsewhere.
If your country does not issue apostilles, consular legalization is normally used instead.
Common sequencing
Obtain the document, authenticate it, then translate — including the authentication itself where required.
Confirm the expected sequence before paying, because getting it backwards usually means redoing the translation.
