Hello. Your documents should be apostilled in your country and translated into Spanish by a public translator from Paraguay.

The following comes from the PY migraciones website (migraciones.gov.py/residencia-temporal/):

• Todos los documentos en idioma extranjero deberán estar traducidos al español por un traductor público matriculado en la República del Paraguay o por un traductor público extranjero habilitado por la autoridad competente del país donde presta su servicio; en este último supuesto, la versión traducida del documento de origen extranjero deberá estar apostillada o legalizada por las vías correspondientes. Los documentos en idioma portugués emitidos por la República Federativa del Brasil están exceptuados de traducción en consideración a lo estipulado.


• Los documentos emitidos en el exterior deberán estar legalizados o certificados por el método de Apostilla (apostillados).


• La legalización de documentos extranjeros se tramita en el Consulado Paraguayo en el país de origen y, posteriormente, en el Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de Paraguay.


Do those points not make it clear that the translation and apostille can be done either in the country of origin OR in PY?

I know how the system works in my country but apparently you know more, so let us know how it ends, good luck with your documents. Best regards

I will be very eager to hear how giving it a go yourself turns out.  I am considering the same for me and my wife. 


I can't even get some of these "services" to respond to an email or their own contact form.

I've seen some of that Elias guy's posts and he often comes across as arrogant and rude, as well as in private messages with me.


Dude, I simply provided copy/pasted quotes from the migraciones website, why are you so freakin' offended by that?
