Documents we translate for your visa

The ones we are asked for most for retirement (pensioner), residency and tourist visas:

Background checks

FBI Identity History Summary and state background checks, notarized or apostilled.

Civil records

Birth, marriage and divorce certificates.

Income and pension

Social Security or pension letters, bank statements and proof of income.

Apostille first, then translation

The US and Ecuador are both part of the Hague Apostille Convention, so a US document is usually apostilled in the US first (by the Secretary of State of the issuing state, or by the US Department of State for federal documents such as the FBI report) and then translated. Check the current requirements for your visa type; when we quote, we tell you what to send.

Fully remote, even before you travel

Send us a clear photo or PDF on WhatsApp or by email from the US. We reply in English with the price and delivery time, and you receive the translation digitally. If the authority asks for a hard copy, we tell you how we deliver it.
