Certified translations
These translations must be signed by a Certified Public Translator, graduated from the School of Law of the University of the Republic, (“Universidad de la República”) for the document to be valid for legal purposes, such as powers of attorney, bylaws, business agreements, diplomas, student records, marital status documents (birth, death, marriage), etc.
Unofficial translations
These translations do not require to be signed by a Certified Public Translator. Nevertheless, they must be carried out with professionalism and strict confidentiality. Examples include legal and financial reports.
Official Certification of Translation Accuracy
This certification applies to cases when a document has already been translated by a Certified Translator outside Uruguay. We will review the document thoroughly and, if the quality of the translation is approved — amending errors where necessary —, our endorsement and professional stamp will be included so that the document is legally enforceable before public authorities in Uruguay.
If a document has not been translated by a Certified Translator from another country, it is necessary to prepare a new translation to render it valid for legal formalities in Uruguay.
Official Translations from other languages such as Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, etc.
The University of the Republic in Uruguay offers the Certified Public Translator degree in the following languages: English, French, Italian, German and Portuguese. In order to translate foreign documents in languages other than these five, our office works together with experts vetted by the Association of Translators who master the required language, thus assuring a translation that is fully valid for legal procedures in Uruguay.
