Frequently asked questions
The questions people actually ring an embassy about — marriage paperwork, appointments, lost passports, photography. Tap a question to open it.
Where is the Embassy of Uruguay — is there one in Prague?
Uruguay does not keep an embassy in Prague. The mission accredited to the Czech Republic is at 1010 Vienna, Mahlerstrasse 11/2/2 — see it on the map (48.20241, 16.37292). The nearest office on Czech soil is the honorary consulate at 110 00 Praha 1, Nekázanka 883/8 — map. Honorary consuls handle a limited set of matters and keep short hours, but for a first question they are a great deal closer than the embassy.
What are the opening hours, and do I need an appointment?
Opening hours are not published for this mission in the official Diplomatic List, so treat the contact details above as the starting point. Passport, visa and civil-status matters are almost always handled by appointment, so call 00431-535 66 36 or e-mail uruaustria@mrree.gub.uy before you travel across the city. Missions close on Czech public holidays as well as on their own national day — for Uruguay that is August 25 – Declaration of the Day of Independence /1825/.
Can I get married at the Embassy of Uruguay?
In the Czech Republic a legally binding marriage is performed by a Czech registry office (matrika) or by a church authorised by the Czech state — not by a foreign embassy. A small number of countries allow a consular marriage between two of their own citizens; whether Uruguay is one of them is a question only its consular section can answer, so call 00431-535 66 36 or e-mail uruaustria@mrree.gub.uy. What the mission does do in almost every case is issue or authenticate the paperwork the Czech registry office asks a foreigner for. The whole procedure, venue by venue, is in our guide to the legal requirements for getting married in the Czech Republic.
Which documents do I need from the Embassy of Uruguay to marry in Prague?
The Czech registry office asks a foreign national for a valid passport, a full birth certificate (the short version is not accepted), a certificate of no impediment — the certificate of legal capacity to marry, which is the document your own authorities or your embassy issue — an affidavit of marital status sworn before a notary, and, if you were married before, the divorce decree or the death certificate of your late spouse. Every foreign document has to be translated into Czech by a court-appointed translator and carry an apostille or consular legalisation. Start three to six months ahead: verification and appointment slots, not the ceremony, are what take the time. To ask which of these papers Uruguay issues for its citizens, call 00431-535 66 36 or e-mail uruaustria@mrree.gub.uy. Our step-by-step marriage guide lists the fees and the order to do things in.
Who should I book to photograph a wedding or civil ceremony in Prague?
Bring your own — neither the embassy nor the Czech registry office provides one, and both give you a short, tightly scheduled slot in a small room, so a photographer who has already worked that setting is worth more than a big lens. Two practical points: a mission is a security-controlled building, so ask the consular section in advance whether a photographer may come in and whether their name and ID have to be registered at the door; and if the ceremony itself is at a Czech registry office, ask the matrika where the photographer is allowed to stand. We keep a list of photographers working in Prague and the best photo locations, a guide to Prague proposal photography for the moment before the paperwork, and a city photography guide for the portraits you will want afterwards on the Charles Bridge or in Letná.
Does the Embassy of Uruguay issue Czech visas?
No. Visas and residence permits for the Czech Republic are issued by 체코어 embassies and consulates abroad and by the Czech Ministry of the Interior — never by another country’s mission in Prague. The mission of Uruguay works the other way round: it serves citizens of Uruguay living in or visiting the Czech Republic, and issues visas and documents for Uruguay to everyone else. If you are moving here rather than visiting, our guide to living in the Czech Republic covers permits, insurance and costs.
I lost my passport in Prague — who do I contact?
Report the loss or theft to the Czech police first and keep the report — the consular section will ask for it before issuing anything. Then contact the mission: call 00431-535 66 36 or e-mail uruaustria@mrree.gub.uy. Ask for an emergency travel document, which is normally issued for a single journey home. Outside office hours many missions run an emergency duty line; the switchboard message or the website usually gives it, so note the number down before you need it. Because Uruguay has no embassy in Prague, the honorary consulate listed above is often the fastest first contact, even though the document itself comes from the embassy.
Is there a consulate of Uruguay outside Prague — in Brno, Ostrava or Plzeň?
Yes. Besides the main office, Uruguay is represented by the following consulate in the Czech Republic:
- 110 00 Praha 1, Nekázanka 883/8, tel. 737 637 802, 09.00 – 15.00 /Mo-Fri/, Ms. Adriana DERGAM
They handle a narrower range of matters than an embassy — typically certifying documents, first-line emergency help and business contacts — and many open only a few hours a week, so call before you drive there.
How do I dial this number from abroad?
The number already carries its own international prefix: dial +4315356636. Note that this is not a Czech number, so it is not a local call from Prague. Every number on this page is a tap-to-call link.
Can the embassy legalise or apostille my documents?
Usually yes, but only in one direction. A mission certifies signatures and copies for its own citizens and legalises documents issued in its own country. A Czech document that you need to use in Uruguay normally has to be apostilled by the Czech authorities first — the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for administrative documents, the Ministry of Justice for court and notarial ones — and only then presented to the consular section. Which route your particular paper takes depends on whether both countries are in the Hague Apostille Convention, so call 00431-535 66 36 or e-mail uruaustria@mrree.gub.uy and describe the document before you pay for anything.
