Civil Register Inscription
Birth
If a person who was born abroad is child, or grandchild, of at least one natural Uruguayan citizen, then that person is considered a Uruguayan national.
The Uruguayan citizenship cannot be renounced and, therefore, it is possible for a person to have Uruguayan nationality as well as the nationality from another country, without ever losing their Uruguayan one.
Requirements to be able to register a birth in the Uruguayan Civil Register:
One or both parents need to be present with their corresponding identification documents.
Two witnesses need to be present as well (Uruguayan or other nationality) with their identification documents.
The parents need to present the birth certificate of the child apostilled in the place of birth.
Provide home address
The cost of this procedure is of $14, the payment for which is done with a money order or cashier check made out to the Consulate of Uruguay.
