How it works
Confirm the document version
Most Ecuador uses require a certified or long-form birth certificate, not a decorative hospital record.
Apostille before translation
For U.S. state-issued birth certificates, the apostille usually comes from the Secretary of State where the certificate was issued.
Translate the full package
We translate the certificate, apostille, stamps, seals, and annotations into Spanish.
Details that prevent delays
Do not use a hospital certificate
Ecuador agencies generally want a civil registry or vital-records certificate, not a hospital souvenir certificate.
Names must match
If the birth certificate name differs from your passport, marriage certificate, or visa documents, flag it before submission.
Apostille state matters
The apostille normally comes from the state that issued the birth certificate, not necessarily the state where you live now.
Requirements depend on use
A visa, Registro Civil filing, school enrollment, and legal matter can have different expectations.
Questions.
Do all Ecuador visa applicants need a birth certificate translated?
Not always. Birth certificate requirements depend on the process, visa category, and whether dependents or civil-status filings are involved.
Should I translate the apostille too?
Yes. If the birth certificate has an apostille, upload it with the certificate so the complete package is translated.
Can you translate birth certificates from outside the U.S.?
Yes, as long as the document is readable and you include any legalization or apostille pages required for your Ecuador process.
