Apostille Service and Fast and Reliable Assistance for Uruguay ( or its embassies/consulates).
Uruguay and the United States allow dual citizenship, meaning citizens can hold both without renouncing either. Uruguayans can become naturalized U.S. citizens and vice versa, retaining both passports and facilitating work, travel, and political rights in both countries.
Key Aspects of Dual Nationality (Uruguay - USA)
Passports and Travel: Both valid passports must be carried. The U.S. passport is required for entry into/exit from the U.S., and the Uruguayan passport is required for immigration procedures in Uruguay.
Acquisition:
By Birth: Children of Uruguayans born in the U.S. can register in the Uruguayan Civil Registry to obtain nationality.
By Naturalization: A Uruguayan citizen can become a naturalized U.S. citizen after meeting the residency requirements, and in turn, a U.S. citizen can obtain Uruguayan nationality without losing their own.
Consular Registration: Registering a birth at the Uruguayan consulate in the U.S. requires an apostilled birth certificate, the presence of parents and witnesses, and an approximate cost of $14 USD.
Legal Status: The United States does not consider that the adoption of another nationality affects U.S. citizenship.
Important Considerations
Recognition: Both countries allow dual citizenship. It is not necessary to renounce Uruguayan citizenship upon becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen, nor vice versa.
Uruguayan Citizenship: Children and grandchildren of natural Uruguayan citizens born abroad may apply for Uruguayan nationality.
Travel: It is recommended to travel with both valid passports. Upon entering the United States, you must present your U.S. passport.
Obligations: Dual U.S. citizens must be loyal to both countries and are subject to the laws of both.

Certified translation
In addition to the apostille, the Uruguayan government may require certified Spanish translations of each document. These translations must match the legalized (apostilled) documents and are usually submitted along with the originals at the consular appointment.
We can put you in touch with certified Spanish translators experienced in consular requirements, or offer you a complete package with apostilles and translations.
