Apostille services for Ecuadorian citizens with children born in the United States who are applying for dual citizenship in Ecuador (or its embassies/consulates).
Apostille Service and Fast and reliable assistance for Ecuador (or its embassies/consulates).
A child born in the U.S. to Ecuadorian parents can obtain dual citizenship. To do so, they must register at the Ecuadorian consulate in the U.S. The process requires bringing the original, apostilled U.S. birth certificate, an official Spanish translation, and the Ecuadorian parents' identity documents.
Requirements
US Birth Certificate: The long, original version, apostilled and with official translation into Spanish.
Parental documents: Valid Ecuadorian ID or passport of at least one parent. If one of the parents is a foreigner, they must present their passport.
Parental presence: At least one parent must be present for registration.
Parent identification: Ecuadorian ID card or passport of the parents.
If one of the parents is absent: A power of attorney authorizing the registration is required.
Steps
Gather the documents: Obtain the long version of the U.S. birth certificate and have it apostilled by the appropriate federal or state authority before being accepted by the embassy or consulate.
Translation: Obtain an official Spanish translation of the birth certificate, which must be notarized and apostilled.
Schedule an appointment: Schedule an appointment at the Ecuadorian consulate nearest to your location to complete the "Civil Registry Abroad" process.
Attend the appointment: Bring all documents, including the original and translated birth certificate with its apostilles, as well as the passports and identity cards of the parents.
Additional considerations
Minors: For the registration of a minor, both parents should be present if possible. If one of the parents cannot attend, a signed authorization will be required.
Documentation: It is essential that all documents are submitted in order. The birth certificate must be the long version and be properly apostilled and translated.
Ecuadorian passport: Once the birth is registered in Ecuador, you can apply for an Ecuadorian passport at US consulates, for which you will need an appointment.
