Pesos, dollars and the unidad indexada
Uruguayans routinely hold parallel peso and US dollar accounts, and some products are denominated in unidades indexadas, an inflation-indexed unit of account whose peso value is published.
So a Uruguayan financial position may sit across three units on the same bank's statements. We name the unit on the first line of each statement and do not convert an indexed unit to a fixed number.
Bank secrecy, and what it means for the document
Uruguay has a long tradition of bank secrecy, substantially reformed in recent years to meet international transparency standards, and Uruguayan banks are correspondingly formal about what they will certify and to whom.
A bank certificate obtained in Uruguay is issued to the holder on request and states precisely what it states. We translate it exactly rather than summarising, because the wording is deliberate.
The cédula, and its check digit
Uruguayan financial documents carry the cédula de identidad, seven digits plus a check digit after a hyphen, which does not change and is the cross-check across the file.
We reproduce it exactly including the check digit, which is routinely lost in retyping and which verification requires.
The constancia, and the decimal comma
Banks issue a constancia or balance certificate on letterhead, stamped and signed, which is what a consulate generally requires alongside statements.
Uruguayan numbers write a comma as the decimal separator and a point for thousands. We convert the notation and name the currency. See our Spanish page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, and it comes back typically within 24 hours as a PDF formatted to mirror the original, with a signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead. Marginal annotations are translated in place, in the margin, and every seal, stamp and registry endorsement is translated with the text. See how we translate and certified versus standard.
