What to do once the Power of Attorney has been granted?

Once the Power of Attorney has been issued by the Consulate-General, the document must be formalised:

Step 1: Once the first copy of the Power of Attorney issued by the Consulate-General has been obtained, and in order to be valid in Uruguay, the signature of the acting consular officer must be first legalised by the Legalisations and Apostilles Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uruguay, located at 1384 Cuareim Street, Montevideo.
Step 2: Once the consular officer’s signature has been legalised, the Power of Attorney must be registered before a Notary Public in Uruguay in order to have legal effect within the national territory.
