Are your translations officially recognized in Ecuador and abroad?
Yes. We provide the best legal translation services in Guayaquil with certifications that are accepted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, foreign embassies, and international judicial bodies. Our translators are properly accredited and their signatures can be notarized for full legal validity.
What is the difference between a certified and a notarized translation?
A certified translation includes a signed statement from the translator attesting to the accuracy of the work. A notarized translation goes a step further, where a Notary Public verifies the identity of the translator who signed the certification. We offer both services depending on your specific requirements.
How long does a typical legal translation take?
For standard documents like birth certificates or simple contracts (1-3 pages), we usually deliver within 24 to 48 hours. Larger projects are scheduled based on word count, but we always prioritize meeting your deadlines.
Do you offer discounts for large documents?
Absolutely. We value long-term relationships and large-scale projects. Discounts typically apply starting from the 3rd page of a document. For corporate clients with high volumes, we offer tailored pricing structures.
Can you apostille my foreign document in Guayaquil?
No. By law, an Apostille must be issued by the country where the document originated. We only provide Apostille services for documents issued within Ecuador. However, we can translate foreign documents that have already been apostilled in their country of origin.
What are your business hours in Guayaquil?
We are open Monday through Friday from 08:30 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 17:30. We are closed on weekends and national holidays. However, you can submit your documents through our website at any time, 24/7.
Do you translate technical medical documents as well?
Yes. Our team includes specialists in medical translation who handle clinical trials, laboratory reports, and pharmaceutical manuals with the same rigor as our legal projects.
Is my information kept confidential?
Confidentiality is a cornerstone of our service. We are happy to sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and we use encrypted systems to handle all sensitive legal and personal data.
