Answer
A child born in Uruguay is generally considered a natural citizen regardless of the parents’ migration status, except in special cases provided for by law. After birth, the status must be documented: register the birth record and obtain the child’s Uruguayan documents.
A child’s citizenship does not mean that the parents automatically become residents or citizens at the same time. A separate family migration procedure applies to them, in which kinship, identity, and the required supporting documents are verified.
At the hospital, find out the procedure for submitting information to the Registro de Estado Civil and the deadlines for obtaining the certificate. Then check the requirements for the child’s cédula and passport, as well as consular registration of the child’s other citizenship, if the family needs it.
