There is no “professional user account” however, you might need “notary” assistance to enter “the request” with precise and correct information of the property, to get relevant outcome.
The LRI is only available in “Spanish” language.
For the search of LRI, you need to have the “number”, “type”” and “location” of the property (“plot”).
For LRI the “property” is named as “plot” which has two “types” and is identified with a number and location.
The “plot” (“padrón” in Spanish) has a number and could only be “urban” or “rural” (typoe of plot), where “Urban” is for real estate located in cities and “rural” is for land on the countryside.
Finally the “location” of the plot is essential to know the correct LRI you are looking and refers to any of the 19 Uruguayan States.
