## What is covered in the criminal check?
The Court Search check in Uruguay is a nationwide judicial records search that identifies criminal court judgments relating to Uruguayan citizens and foreign nationals legally resident in Uruguay, based on information available in the public central database of the Uruguayan Judiciary.
The database includes criminal judgments issued by the Supreme Court of Justice of Uruguay, criminal appellate courts and tribunals, and district and first-instance courts, including Justices of the Peace and conciliation courts, across the country.
Available records in the central electronic system date back to 2017 onwards.
This check is national in scope and is not limited to a specific locality. An address is requested solely as a supplementary identifier and is not required to conduct the search itself. When a second identifier is unavailable, address information — if referenced in court decisions, orders, or judgments — is used exclusively to support accurate record matching and verification.
This court search is based on publicly available judicial decisions and does not constitute an official criminal record certificate issued by law enforcement authorities.
## Restrictions, Exclusions, Limitations
- Only publicly available criminal court decisions are reported, subject to legal and data protection restrictions.
- Due to privacy laws, there might be restrictions in accessing case information that the parties to the case have explicitly prohibited the public disclosure of.
- Please note that we only provide audit trails as evidence for this service. Exceptionally, if you need evidence for "Records Found" we can share the snippet or judgment with an additional cost.
