WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Ecuadorian Academic Transcript (Record Académico / Acta de Grado (Certificado de Calificaciones))
An Ecuadorian transcript comes in two shapes. Secondary schooling is summarized in the Acta de Grado, the degree-award record that lists the final promedio and confirms the BGU title, while universities issue a Record Académico or Certificado de Calificaciones detailing every asignatura, its credits, and the grade. Grading is numeric, not letters: the BGU passes at 7 on a 0-10 scale, and universities grade on 0-10, sometimes 0-20 or 0-40, with the passing threshold stated on the sheet. The USCIS-safe approach is to preserve the original numeric scale and any aprobado/reprobado notations verbatim and never convert them to a U.S. 4.0 GPA; that conversion is a credential evaluator's job (WES, ECE), not the translator's, and doing it invites rejection. We reproduce the course list, credit hours, seal, and the registrar's signature line, and we keep institution names in Spanish with a bracketed gloss so the transcript and the diploma read as one consistent set.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Ecuadorian Academic Transcript Comes From
Ecuadorian academic transcripts are issued by the awarding school or university itself — the exact office and registration system are described above. Ecuador acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention in 2005, so an Ecuadorian civil document needs only a single apostille — issued electronically by Ecuador's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility (Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores y Movilidad Humana) — to be accepted by USCIS.

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Ecuadorian Academic Transcript Translated
For your Ecuadorian academic transcript, USCIS requires a complete English translation of everything on the page — the issuing office’s details, seals, and any marginal notes included — plus a signed certification of accuracy under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Machine translation cannot sign that certification. We reproduce the document's exact layout so an officer can compare it line by line against your Ecuadorian original.
