apostille
For an apostille for Uruguay, degrees are verified by the university or state education department, civil certificates by the home department or SDM, and the MEA then apostilles them; a Passport Seva PCC goes directly. Uruguay’s migration directorate and registries accept the documents with a translation by a traductor público.

Uruguay has been a Convention party since 2012, and it applies with India, so the Uruguayan Embassy does not legalise apostilled Indian documents.
IT companies in Montevideo hiring from India typically need the employee’s degree and police clearance for residency, and family members’ civil certificates if they move too.

Uruguay’s legal residency process is handled by the National Migration Directorate, and applicants usually also need a Uruguayan identity card (cédula) once residency is granted. The apostilled birth certificate and police clearance are used again at that stage, so keep the originals safe after the first submission.
For software professionals, Montevideo’s tech companies often sponsor the move; ask your HR team whether they want the degree revalidated or only apostilled, because the two are different processes.
