Residency certificate granted by the Migration Office.



Authenticated copy of your permanent residence carnet



Authenticated copy of your passport, birth certificate.



Please bear in mind that these last document has to be legalized by the Paraguayan consulate at your end, or where the document is issued.



In case your are married, divorced, or a widow, authenticated copy of the certificate that proves such situation documents have to be legalized by the Paraguayan consulate at your end, or where the document is issued.



Life and residency certificate granted by Police.



Certificate of Criminal Files for foreigners, granted by Paraguayan Police.

Please help me understand this:

I need an original birth certificate to be authenticated at a py consulate to apply for carnet.

then

I need a copy of birth certificate authenticated at a py consulate to apply for cedula.

Should I send in original and copy of birth certificate to a consulate for authentication at the same time?
Will it be acceptable to submit an authenticated copy of birth certificate with cedula application that is over 3 months old?
