Welcome to the Consular Section of the United States Embassy in Uruguay. The Consular Section has three principal sections:

AMERICAN CITIZENS SERVICES

The American Citizens Services Section of the United States Embassy in Uruguay provides assistance to American citizens in Uruguay. American citizens can request passports, register their children born outside the United States (in Uruguay), and ask for help in emergency cases. We also legalize documents for use in the United States. The Unit of Federal Benefits assists the beneficiaries of Social Security and other Federal Agencies.

NON- IMMIGRANT VISA SECTION

Welcome to the Non-Immigrant Visa Section of the United States Embassy in Uruguay. Thank you for your interest in visiting the United States. The majority of the people that wish to visit the United States and are not qualified to travel under the Visas Waiver Program must apply and obtain a non-immigrant visa before initiating their travel. If you are applying for a non-immigrant visa we recommend you to read carefully the information under section “Instructions on how to apply for a non-immigrant visa”, which explains the process to apply for a non-immigrant visa, and states the requirements needed. The information in this Web page has been designed to help you understand the process of applying for a non-immigrant visa and will allow you to be better prepared for your interview.
