1D. Leaving
If you leave your job whether because you finished your contract or quit, you should get both recommendation letters and a constancia de trabajo. Recommendation letters speak well of you and your work. The constancia de trabajo should be given by the head of the company and should state whether you were full/time or part/time, the dates when you started and finished working, your title, and duties. If possible, have this put in your recommendation letter as well. Have the constancia de trabajo signed and stamped with the company seal.

4A. Tips for buying property. Before you sign for a house/apart/land, always go to SUNARP (registros publicos) to check out its status. You only pay a few soles. It's just in front of the Rebagliati hospital. Make sure there�s no mortage (hipoteca) on the property and the owner doesn�t have any legal problems. You�ll need a DNI, CE or the permission to sign a contract visa.
Once you�re ready to buy, go to a notary and they will tell you everything that you need. First step, you will have to sign a Minuta (which is a short document saying who�s selling and who�s buying) Make sure the notary legalizes the signatures. Second step, you will also have to sign an Escritura (which is the long legal document that explains everything). Third step, go together to the Municipality and you each will get two copies of a PU (Public property taxes, ex. water, sidewalks, etc) and an HR (Private property taxes, your property) You will have to fill out these forms so that the property legally changes names. You will also have to pay a fee to transfer the names. We did the last two steps vice versa, but the important thing is that you do the first step first. Lastly, about payments. Many people prefer a cheque de garantia (we got ours at BCP and they cost 20USD each) We got two cheques, we gave the owner the first one after we signed the Minuta and the second one after we signed the Escritura.
In addition, after you have bought your house you should take out insurance to protect it. Mapfre ( http://www.mapfre.com.pe) is pretty cheap and very reliable.

6B. Recommended translator. She does the translation, plus the trips to the notary, Colegio de Notarios and RREE. Maria del Carmen Pizaroo Sabogal. Las Begonias 552, Of. 16, San Isidro. 442-7429 or 222-0019.

6D. The easiest and fastest way is for one of you to go to Nevada in the USA (Las Vegas is the easiest). You have to "live" there for 6 weeks and it doesn't matter if your not a permanent US resident. After 6 weeks + 1 day you can be divorced, and a divorce in the US can be "legalized" in Peru (or almost any other country).

6E. Using Peruvian Documents Abroad
If you want to use Peruvian documents abroad you�ll have to go to a Notary, Colegio de notarios RREE, then finally the Embassy from the country where you�ll use the document. The acceptions to this are birth, marriage and death certificates. You take these to RENIEC and have them legalise them, then to RREE and then the Embassy from the country where you�ll use the document

6F. Visas for Peruvians
See your local embassy�s website. For the USA http://lima.usembassy.gov also see www.visajourney.com for info on fianc� and spousal visas. For the UK http://britishembassy.gov.uk and for Canada www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/lima

6G Taxes for Americans
If you've been away for 12 months in a row or were a bona fiada resident for 330 days during the year, you should file the 2555. It makes sure you don't have to pay Uncle Sam, if you've already paid taxes in the country where you are living. If you file the 2555, then you have to file the 1040, not the EZ.
