In an effort to prevent international child abduction, many governments have initiated procedures at entry/exit points. These often include requiring documentary evidence of relationship and permission for the child's travel from the parent(s) or legal guardian not present.

For any child under the age of 18, Uruguayan authorities require that the non-traveling parent grant his/her authorization for the traveling parent to leave the country with the child by signing a notarized document called a permiso de menor, which must be presented to immigration officers at the airport, port, or land border crossing. If a child travels without both parents, even in a group, then both must sign the document. For more information on obtaining the permiso de menor, contact the Direccion Nacional de Migracion at (598) (2) 916-0471.
