An apostille can only be issued in the country where the document was issued. For a document from Ecuador that means Ecuador’s designated authority; no other country can apostille it. We coordinate the submission in Ecuador, the notary reviews your application first, and the document is returned with the apostille – by courier or, where Ecuador issues electronic apostilles, as a verified PDF.
Typical requests from Ecuador concern residence, family matters and citizenship. Ecuador issues electronic apostilles; Spanish translations are required.
Authority fee: 30 US Dollars (official fee, passed through 1:1 in your quote)

Apostille in Ecuador: questions
Under Article 6 of the Convention Ecuador has designated: Director de Documentos de Viaje y Legalizaciones, Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores y Movilidad Humana. The notary reviews your application and we route the document to the right office.
In all Contracting States except Kosovo: an Article 12 objection is in force between them, so documents for these states need consular legalisation instead. Non-Convention countries (for example the UAE, Qatar, Egypt) always need legalisation.
The authority’s fee listed with the HCCH: 30 US Dollars. Official fees are passed through 1:1 and shown separately from Notaryzer’s service fee in your written quote; nothing is charged before you accept.
The apostille itself is standardised and accepted without translation. The document is in Spanish; most recipients abroad want a sworn or certified translation into their language, which we add in the same order.
The Convention has been in force for Ecuador since April 2, 2005.
