About Ecuador Translations

I'm Chip Moreno, and I started Ecuador Translations because I know firsthand how frustrating it is to navigate document requirements in a foreign country.

I'm an American expat living in Cuenca, Ecuador. I hold a Computer Science degree and I'm an EA candidate (Part 1 Passed) working toward becoming a fully credentialed Enrolled Agent for US tax matters. I founded Iterative Systems LLC to build services that solve real problems for expats — the kind of problems I've experienced myself.

When I went through the Ecuador visa process, I ran into the same wall that every expat hits: figuring out which documents needed translations, what kind of certification each agency required, and finding translators who actually understood Ecuador's system. Generic translation services didn't cut it — they produced technically accurate translations that got rejected because they weren't formatted the way the Cancilleria or SENESCYT expected.

After helping hundreds of expats through the visa process at EcuaPass.com (our visa services platform), I saw the same translation problems come up again and again. Documents getting bounced back. Deadlines missed because of formatting issues. Expats paying twice for translations that should have been done right the first time.

So I built Ecuador Translations to fix that. We partner with certified native-Spanish translators who specialize in official Ecuadorian document translation. You get the quality of a professional translation service with the personal touch of working directly with a fellow American who understands your situation.
