apostille
The apostille for Ecuador is the MEA apostille on an Indian document verified at source: a Passport Seva PCC directly, birth and marriage certificates through the home department or SDM, pension or income declarations through a notary and SDM. Ecuador’s foreign ministry and civil registry accept these documents with a Spanish translation.
Ecuador embassy attestation is not needed – the apostille for Ecuador is
Ecuador has applied the Convention since 2005 and it applies with India, so the Ecuadorian consulate does not legalise apostilled Indian documents.
Retirees applying for a pensioner (jubilado) residency usually need a police clearance plus proof of pension income – a pension statement or notarised declaration – with the apostille for Ecuador.
