WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Ecuadorian Birth Certificate (Partida / Acta de Nacimiento (Certificado de Nacimiento))
Ecuadorian birth records come from DIGERCIC (Dirección General de Registro Civil, Identificación y Cedulación). Since June 2017 the standard output is a digital Certificado de Nacimiento, a PDF carrying a QR code, a numeric verification string, and an electronic signature, pulled from the Agencia Virtual once the holder enters their cédula and the 10-digit código dactilar printed on the back of the ID card. Births registered before 2017 exist only as typed or handwritten partidas extracted from bound registry books, cited by tomo, acta and folio. For USCIS the full record must be rendered, including the child's two surnames (paternal then maternal), both parents' cédula numbers, and any marginal note (marginación); a later legitimation, recognition, or name change is written in the margin, and dropping it triggers RFEs. Provincial cursive entries from the early 1900s demand genuine transcription, not guesswork. Our certified translation mirrors the QR block and the DIGERCIC seal so the officer can see it is an authentic electronic issuance.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Ecuadorian Birth Certificate Comes From
In Ecuador, civil-status records come from the Dirección General de Registro Civil, Identificación y Cedulación — DIGERCIC (Directorate-General of Civil Registry, Identification and Identity-Card Issuance). 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 Birth Certificate Translated
For your Ecuadorian birth certificate, 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.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Ecuadorian Birth Certificate Pitfalls
Ecuadorian birth certificates carry parent names and often marginal notes (later corrections, adoptions, or legitimations); USCIS compares them against your passport and forms, so an omitted annotation or a transposed surname is one of the most common causes of a Request for Evidence.
Native Ecuadorian Specialist

Is your Ecuadorian birth certificate translation accepted by USCIS?
Yes. Every translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy meeting 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). If USCIS rejects it citing the translation, we correct it free and reimburse your resubmission fee.
Does the apostille on my Ecuadorian document need to be translated too?
