Citizenship through descent is available to people who at least one of their parents or grandparents were born in Uruguay and had Uruguayan citizenship.
It requires the following:
- Birth Certificate of the applicant’s parent or grandparent¹ who was born in Uruguay (if the latter applies the shared grandparent’s child and applicant’s parent Birth Certificate + Apostille + Uruguayan Translation + Uruguayan Notary’s Copy to prove the relationship).
- Applicant’s Birth Certificate + Apostille + Uruguayan Translation + Uruguayan Notary’s Copy.
- Registration of the previous items before the Civic Registry² (Registro Civil) in Montevideo to obtain a Uruguayan citizen’s 10 year ID card³ (otherwise a provisional 1 year ID card will be issued).
¹Partial birth information can be used to track down their Birth Certificate.
²They’re currently taking over 8 months to process registration applications because of a significant backlog.
³The ID card is the final step of the process. No further paperwork is needed beyond that point.
*My services are available nationwide.

Cost: 500 USD / 20000 UYU (100% up-front) or an hourly 100 USD / 4000 UYU rate.¹⁴
¹The applicable package fee will be 250 USD / 10000 UYU or an hourly 100 USD / 4000 UYU rate for every applicant under 16 years old.⁴
