The following is a list of rabbinical courts or rabbis who head rabbinical courts whose conversions are recognized by the Israeli Chief Rabbi's office.
Take note! The list changes from time to time and therefore it is important that you check the status of the rabbinical court you turn to before you begin the process.

Conversion in Latin America:
There are at present no recognized rabbinic conversion courts and no Orthodox conversions in any Latin American country. Residents of Latin America who wish to convert do so before a rabbinic court in the United States, or – if the convert is eligible for aliya status – in Israel.
The rabbis of Latin America listed below are known to support potential converts (on a case by case basis), and can guide them through the entire process.
