Apostille

In 2012, Uruguay joined the Hague Convention on the Apostille. Since then, documents issued by the United States authorities have to be apostilled to have validity in Uruguay, due to which legalization of documents at the Consulate is no longer necessary.

The Apostille must be obtained in the State in which the document was issued; the corresponding offices for this Consulate’s jurisdiction are the following:

  • Florida

  • Alabama

  • Arkansas

  • Georgia

  • South Carolina

  • Luisiana

  • Mississippi

  • Oklahoma

  • Tennessee

  • Texas

  • Puerto Rico

  • Antigua and Barbuda

  • Bahamas

  • Western Virgin Islands

Apostille

En 2012 entró en vigor para nuestro país la Convención de La Haya sobre Apostilla. A partir de esa fecha, los documentos expedidos por las autoridades de Estados Unidos deben ser apostillados para tener validez en la República, no siendo necesaria la legalización en la oficina consular. La apostilla debe obtenerse en el Estado en el cual el documento fue emitido, siendo las oficinas competentes para la jurisdicción de este Consulado las siguientes:

  • Florida

  • Alabama

  • Arkansas

  • Georgia

  • Carolina del Sur

  • Luisiana

  • Mississippi

  • Oklahoma

  • Tennessee

  • Texas

  • Puerto Rico

  • Antigua y Barbuda

  • Bahamas
