How to prepare your Ecuadorian documents for translation
The Registro Civil, Identificación y Cedulación in Ecuador has digitalised its civil registry and issues official digital versions of birth and marriage certificates. Both physical and digital official versions are accepted for NAATI-certified translation. Before uploading, ensure your scan or digital file shows the complete document including all text, the official stamp, signature, and any verification or QR code. The Certificado de Antecedentes Penales must be obtained from the Ministerio del Interior — ensure it is current, as the Department of Home Affairs generally requires police certificates issued within 12 months of the visa application date. Documents do not need to be apostilled before translation for Australian immigration purposes unless specifically required by the receiving authority.
