How long does it take to translate official documents from Spanish to English in Ecuador?
Our standard turnaround time is 1 to 2 business days for documents up to 5 pages. If you have an urgent request, we offer an express service that can deliver your certified translation within a few hours, depending on the volume and complexity. We prioritize efficiency without compromising the accuracy needed for legal documents.
Are these translations accepted by the US Embassy and SENESCYT?
Yes. When we translate official documents from Spanish to English in Ecuador, we follow international standards for certified translations. This includes a statement of accuracy, the translator's credentials, and their contact information. This format is widely accepted by the US Embassy, USCIS, Canadian immigration, and SENESCYT in Ecuador.
What is the difference between a certified and a notarized translation?
A certified translation is accompanied by a signed statement from the translator attesting to the accuracy of the work. A notarized translation includes a notary public witnessing the translator's signature. Most academic and immigration bodies require a certified translation, while some specific judicial or real estate transactions may require notarization as well.
Can you translate official documents from Spanish to English in Ecuador remotely?
Absolutely. You can send your documents via email or WhatsApp in high-resolution PDF or JPG format. We can complete the entire process digitally. You will receive a high-quality PDF with digital signatures, which is accepted by most modern organizations. If you need physical copies, we can send them via courier to any city in Ecuador.
What are your business hours for translation services?
Our team is available to assist you 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 through our online quote form at any time, and we will respond during the next business block.
Do you offer discounts for large documents?
Yes, we believe in fair pricing. Discounts apply starting from page 3 of your document. If you have a large legal contract, a full set of academic transcripts, or multiple birth certificates for a family visa application, please mention this when you contact us so we can apply the appropriate volume discount to your quote.
Can you apostille my foreign document?
No, we only provide Apostille services for documents issued by Ecuadorian authorities (such as the Civil Registry or local universities). If you have a document from the United States or Europe, you must obtain the Apostille from the issuing country. We can, however, translate those documents once they are ready for use in Ecuador.
