BPS certifies it
Uruguay certifies disability through the Banco de Previsión Social, the social security bank, which assesses and issues the certificado de discapacidad and the associated credential under Ley 18.651.
A US reader expecting a health ministry finds a social security institution. It is the correct issuer and we name it rather than leaving the reader to wonder.
The credential, and the registry
The person is entered in the national registry of persons with disabilities and receives a credential, which is what carries the entitlements — transport, tax and employment quota placement in the public sector.
The certificate is the finding and the credential is the entitlement document. We name which the client has.
Free transport, and the specific entitlements
Uruguayan entitlements are concrete: free or reduced public transport, exemptions on vehicle purchase and import, and a reserved proportion of public sector posts.
So the document has a practical function a US reader should understand rather than reading it as a clinical opinion. We describe what it opens where the document states it.
The cédula, and the pension
Uruguayan documents carry the cédula de identidad, seven digits plus a check digit, which identifies the person and does not change. We reproduce the check digit, which verification requires.
A separate pensión por invalidez is assessed by BPS on its own criteria, and a person may hold the certificate and not the pension. 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.
Frequently asked questions

Certificate or credential?
The certificate is the finding; the credential carries the entitlements. We name which you have.
What does it open?
Transport concessions, vehicle exemptions and reserved public sector posts, where the document states them.
Is it the same as an invalidity pension?
