Answer
The procedure usually involves two witnesses—Uruguayan citizens who can confirm the applicant's identity and their actual life in the country. They may be required to provide valid documents and inscripción cívica; the requirements regarding age, kinship, and permissible relationships with the applicant should be clarified with the Corte Electoral.
A witness must genuinely know the person and be prepared to answer questions about their residence, family, or activities. Using a stranger for a fee creates a risk of contradictory testimony and refusal to accept the confirmation.
Before the visit, check whether both witnesses must appear at the same time, which original documents to bring, and whether colleagues, friends, or neighbours are allowed in your situation. Arrange a date in advance and let the witnesses know the office address and the expected duration of the procedure.
