If you have documents issued in Ecuador (such as Ecuadorian birth certificates, police records, or diplomas) that need to be used abroad, they must be apostilled. The Hague Apostille is an international legalization that certifies the document's origin.
We provide Apostille services for Ecuadorian documents only. This includes managing the process through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility (Cancillería). Please note we cannot apostille foreign documents within Ecuador; those must be apostilled in their country of origin.

For most translation tasks, a high-quality scan is sufficient. However, for certain notarization processes or specific government requirements, we may need to see the original or have it attached to the translation. We can advise you on this during the initial quote for your official translation services.
