Persons living abroad may apply through the Uruguayan Embassy or one of the Uruguayan Consulates where they are fingerprinted and their personal data is taken down. The applicant should then send the fingerprint card to a relative in Uruguay to request the certificate. Non-Uruguayan former residents of Uruguay may obtain good conduct certificates only if they have an Identity Card that was issued to them while they were residing in the country.
