Call on VHF Channel 11. The operator may speak English.
Check in with the Hydrografia (Port Authority) and Aduana (Customs) who are in the same building. The Port Authority will enter your details on the database (accessible by all ports).
Prefecture Naval is in the Armada building, check with military guards at the checkpoint.
All officials are nice and helpful. Prefecture will still ask you for the Safety Certificate (but won’t insist if you don’t have one). They will also ask for crew certification (habilitation) but, again, do not insist.
On departure, the Port Authority will issue a document valid for three hours after the specified time of departure.

Mooring charge was 433 pesos Uruguayan per metre for 10m boat.( nearly £11 at time of writing) . Water, electric and showers are charged extra. You need to ask if you do not wish the water and electric to be switch on, otherwise, it is charged by the day.
The mooring situation on the high wall sections dictates that you must use protective pipes or chains on your lines as they run directly over a concrete edge.
Personally I thought that LP was poor value, and I didn’t feel that the staff there paid too much attention to the boats. For this reason I would not leave my boat there unattended for an extended period. LP is well connected, easy access to Punta del Este and Montevideo by comfortable bus journey.
Leaving was easy, the office issue a document which was valid for three hours after specified time of departure.
