The Legal Basis for Official Translations
In accordance with the State Modernization Law of Ecuador, specifically Article 24, the Ecuadorian public administration accepts document translations into foreign languages as valid when performed extra-judicially. For these documents to be legally binding, the signatures of the interpreters must be authenticated before a Public Notary, a Consul of Ecuador, or recognized by a Civil Judge. Our apostille translation services in Ecuador are designed to follow this strict legal protocol, ensuring that your translated documents carry the same weight as the originals.
Whether you are presenting documents to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, educational institutions, or private corporate entities, our team provides the required signature recognition before an authorized notary. This step is crucial for the international recognition of your paperwork, especially when dealing with countries that are signatories to the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961.

Apostille Services for Ecuadorian Documents
While we provide translations for many global languages, our physical Apostille procurement services are limited to Ecuadorian documents only. An Apostille is a certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document, making it valid for use in all countries that are members of the 1961 Hague Convention.
If you have an Ecuadorian birth certificate, degree, or power of attorney that needs to be used abroad, we can handle both the translation and the Apostille process within Ecuador. Contact us to verify if your document qualifies.
Frequently Asked Questions About Apostille Translation Services in Ecuador
What is an apostille translation?
An apostille translation is a certified translation of a document that has been (or will be) apostilled. In Ecuador, this often involves the translator recognizing their signature before a notary so the translation itself can also be apostilled for use in a foreign country under the Hague Convention.
How long does the process take?
Most standard apostille translation services in Ecuador are completed within 24 to 48 business hours. For larger volumes or highly technical documents, we will provide a specific timeline during the quoting process.
Do I need to bring my physical documents?
For the translation part, a high-quality scan is usually sufficient. However, for certain notarization processes or if you require us to manage the physical apostille of the original Ecuadorian document, we may need the physical copies.
Is notarization different from certification?
Yes. A certified translation is signed by a professional translator attesting to its accuracy. A notarized translation includes a notary public's seal, which authenticates the identity of the translator who signed the document. Most official bodies in Ecuador and abroad require the notarized version.
Can you apostille documents from other countries?
No, we can only provide the apostille service for documents issued by Ecuadorian authorities. If you have a document from the US, Spain, or elsewhere, it must be apostilled in that country. We can, however, translate those documents once they arrive in Ecuador.
What are your business hours?
Our team is available Monday through Friday, from 08:30 to 13:00 and from 14:00 to 17:30. We are closed on weekends and national holidays. However, you can submit your request via our website 24/7.
