What is fast certified translation in Ecuador and why do I need it?
Fast certified translation in Ecuador is an official translation service where a professional, certified translator translates your documents and provides an official certificate of accuracy. This certification includes the translator's credentials, signature, and stamp. You need certified translation for official purposes such as visa applications, university admissions, legal proceedings, government submissions, and international business transactions. Certified translations are legally recognized and accepted by authorities in Ecuador and abroad.
How fast can I get my certified translation completed?
Our standard turnaround time for fast certified translation in Ecuador is 24 hours for most documents up to 5 pages. For urgent requests, we offer express same-day service for an additional fee, subject to translator availability. Longer documents may require 2-3 business days depending on complexity and language pair. When you submit your documents, we'll provide an exact delivery time based on your specific project. We work with translators across multiple time zones to ensure quick turnaround without compromising quality.
What's the difference between certified and notarized translation?
A certified translation includes a signed statement from the translator affirming the accuracy of the translation, along with their credentials and contact information. A notarized translation goes one step furtherโafter the translator certifies the translation, a notary public witnesses the translator's signature and adds their official seal. Notarized translations are sometimes required for legal proceedings, immigration applications, or specific government submissions. Our fast certified translation in Ecuador offers both options, and we can advise which is appropriate for your specific needs.
How much does fast certified translation in Ecuador cost?
Our pricing varies by language pair and starts at $28.00 per page for English-Spanish translations. Other languages range from $30.00 to $42.00 per page depending on the language pair and translator availability. Prices exclude VAT. We offer progressive discounts starting from page 3, making longer documents more economical. Additional services like notarization, apostille, or express delivery are quoted separately.

Do you charge VAT on translation services?
Yes, VAT (Value Added Tax) applies to translation services in Ecuador and is added to the base translation cost. Our quoted prices exclude VAT, which will be calculated and shown separately on your invoice. The current VAT rate in Ecuador is applied according to local tax regulations. If you're a registered business, different VAT rules may apply. For detailed information about taxes on your specific project, please contact us with your requirements.
What types of documents can you certify and translate?
We provide fast certified translation in Ecuador for all document types including legal documents (birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, contracts, court documents), academic documents (diplomas, transcripts, certificates), medical documents (medical records, clinical reports, prescriptions), immigration documents (passports, visa applications, residency papers), and business documents (corporate bylaws, financial statements, licenses). Our specialized translators have expertise across all sectors to ensure accurate, industry-appropriate translations.
Do you provide Apostille services with translation?
Yes, we offer Apostille services for Ecuadorian documents only. If your translated document requires an Apostille for international recognition under the Hague Convention, we can handle both the certified translation and the apostille authentication process.

Contact us to discuss your specific apostille needs and receive a comprehensive quote including both services.
