What to do once the Power of Attorney is granted?
Once the power of attorney is granted by the Consular Section, the document must be formalized:
- Step 1: Once you have obtained the first copy of the Power of Attorney granted at the Consular Section, and for it to be valid in Uruguay, the signature of the acting consular officer must first be legalized at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uruguay, Department of Legalizations and Apostilles, located at Cuareim 1384, Montevideo.
- Step 2: Once the signature of the consular officer has been legalized, the notarial Power of Attorney must be formalized before a Public Notary in Uruguay for it to take effect in the national territory.
Cost: USD 270 (the equivalent in shekels will be paid according to the exchange rate on the first day of the current month). Payment will be made by bank transfer or in cash deposited at the bank branch.
