We authenticate vital, academic, and corporate records from all 50 states for legal use in Ecuador.
An apostille for Ecuador is an official certificate that verifies the authenticity of U.S. public documents (such as FBI background checks, birth certificates, and marriage certificates) for use in Ecuador. Since both the United States and Ecuador are members of the Hague Apostille Convention, a standard Hague apostille is the only legal certification required by Ecuadorian authorities.
For state-issued vital records (birth, marriage, or divorce certificates), the apostille must be issued by the Secretary of State where the document was originally recorded. For federal documents like FBI Background Checks, the apostille is issued by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.
For the Professional Visa (Visa Profesional), SENESCYT requires the applicant's university diploma and official transcripts to bear state apostilles, along with an official letter from the university stating the program's modality (in-person/distance learning).
Apostille certificates must remain permanently attached to the underlying document. Removing the staple invalidates the authentication for Ecuadorian legal use.
Expedited processing for documents issued by any U.S. state (e.g. birth, marriage, and death certificates, academic diplomas, transcripts, or notarized legal documents). We offer complete local and online notary services if your document requires it first.
