Select your qualification and expand any item for help obtaining it. The authority may request additional evidence for your institution, study mode or individual case.
A clear PDF of your valid identity document. Use the same name throughout your application.
Document guidance
Who provides it: Your passport or identity-document authority. You provide the scan.
Check that it includes
A clear, uncropped copy of the valid document’s identity page; both sides if using an identity card.
Your photo, full name, document number and expiry date must be readable.
Tell us about any difference between your identity document and university records. Upload supporting name-change evidence under Other supporting documents if needed.
Use a copy in the mailed package. Keep your original passport with you.
Scan the award, reverse side if it has entries, and its apostille or consular legalization together. Keep the physical originals.
Document guidance and templates
Who provides it: The awarding university; the competent authority in the issuing jurisdiction authenticates it by apostille or applicable consular legalization.
Check that it includes
The complete diploma, any informative reverse side, and every page of its apostille or legalization in one PDF.
Readable qualification name, institution, award date, signatures and authentication details.
Ask the university how its document and the signing official are authenticated. The correct apostille authority depends on the jurisdiction and signature, not simply the campus address.
Keep the apostille physically attached. Supporting university certificates do not all need separate apostilles under the published baseline.
If the diploma is lost, not yet issued, or cannot be apostilled, contact us first. Formal substitutes and limited exceptions require individual assessment; a letter you write yourself is not a substitute.
Academic transcript / study-duration record Required
University-issued record showing your studies and their duration. Include credits or hours where available.
Document guidance and templates
Who provides it: The university registrar or responsible academic records office.
Check that it includes
An official academic transcript or another university-issued record that establishes study duration.
Your name, qualification, study dates or duration, and credits or hours where available, with official signature or verifiable electronic issuance.
Order through your university’s official records service. A provider such as Parchment is useful only if your institution uses it.
If the transcript does not establish duration, ask for a duration letter. You do not universally need both a transcript and a separate certificate.
Ask the university to distinguish your attendance dates from the normal program length, and explain transfer credits where relevant. Never adjust dates to meet a threshold.
A university letter, signed by its responsible official, identifying the field of study of your qualification. An ISCED / CINE code is not universally required.
Document guidance and templates
Who provides it: The awarding institution, through an official authorized to certify the program.
Check that it includes
Your full name, exact qualification and awarding institution.
The academic area, discipline, branch or field of the qualification, plus issuer name, role, date and official verification contact.
A plain description of the field is accepted in the current amended wording. An ISCED / CINE code is not universally required.
If the institution uses a classification code, it can include the code and description. Do not invent a code or turn your own statement into a university certificate.
Send the editable draft to the institution to verify and issue on its own letterhead or through its verified electronic system.
University certification of in-person, blended, or distance study. Required for applicable restricted fields; our team confirms whether your health or other qualification requires it.
Document guidance and templates
Who provides it: The university registrar, program director or other responsible academic authority.
Check that it includes
Your name, qualification and the actual delivery mode: in person, blended or distance / online.
Attendance dates and study locations; for blended programs, explain the in-person and remote components.
This is conditional for applicable restricted fields. We confirm whether your qualification needs it before submission.
Full-time or part-time describes enrollment intensity, not delivery mode. Ask the institution to specify both if relevant.
Signed representative authorization If applicable / later
After payment, we provide the final letter for you to sign and include with your originals. You can also upload a signed copy here. It is not required before payment.
Document guidance and templates
Who provides it: Our team prepares the final representative letter. You check and sign it.
Check that it includes
The final letter naming the correct representative, signed by you, and the identification copies specified in your instructions.
This is not required before payment. Download the letter from your payment confirmation or email, complete your details and sign it before shipping.
The official baseline is a simple signed authorization with applicant and representative identification; notarization is not a universal requirement.
Your payment confirmation and email show the mailing address, package list and authorization letter without a login. Include the signed original in your package.
Name-change evidence, analyst requests, additional certificates, or documents our team asks you to provide.
Document guidance and templates
Who provides it: The university, accreditation authority or other relevant document issuer, depending on the request.
Check that it includes
Any case-specific evidence we ask for, such as name-change records, curriculum details or institution / program recognition evidence.
An institution’s recognition or accreditation matters, but a separate accreditation letter is not a universal extra upload. Provide official registry links and a university verification contact where available.
If several additional documents are needed, ask us how to group them within the file limit while preserving all verification features.
Our intake portal accepts a separate PDF for each document type, up to 2 MB and 50 pages per file. Scan every relevant page clearly, including apostilles, signatures, seals and entries on the reverse. Keep the full-size original files and all physical originals.
The published SIAU manual also gives a 2 MB upload limit. If your official file is larger, password-protected or difficult to upload, ask our team for help before changing it. Do not remove required pages or break an electronic signature to make a file smaller. Preserve original electronic documents and their verification links or QR codes.
Ask the university to issue the certificates
Send the registrar our document request email and the relevant editable drafts. The responsible university office must check the facts and issue its own official records, on institutional letterhead or through a verifiable electronic system. Include an authorized official’s name, role, signature, date and official contact for verification. Filling in a draft yourself does not make it a university certificate.
For study duration, an official transcript or another official academic record may be sufficient. Request a separate duration letter if the record does not establish this clearly. For the field of knowledge, a plain description of the discipline or branch of study is accepted in the current amended wording; an ISCED / CINE code is not a universal requirement.
Additional evidence depends on the qualification
Study mode: certification is required for PhDs and applicable restricted fields. In person, blended and distance describe delivery mode; full-time and part-time describe enrollment intensity.
PhD: provide modality and duration evidence, including relevant study and research locations. The published baseline is at least three years and in-person or blended study. Exceptional cases require assessment.
Títulos propios / non-official awards: the eligible published nomenclature is Máster, Magíster or Especialista. Obtain university evidence of at least 60 ECTS or equivalent and completion of a final project or equivalent work. Credit equivalence must come from the institution.
Health: the specialty may require prior qualifying-degree registration, clinical training details, training-center authorization or program accreditation. Brazilian Lato Sensu medical and dental awards have additional conditions; we identify the evidence relevant to your case.
Accreditation: recognition or accreditation of the institution or program must be assessed as applicable. A separate accreditation letter is useful when requested, rather than a mandatory extra upload for every applicant.
Apostille, legalization and translation
The diploma ordinarily needs an apostille or applicable consular legalization. Follow the issuing jurisdiction’s rules for the document and the signature being authenticated; the campus address alone does not determine the correct authority. The published baseline does not require every supporting university certificate to have a separate apostille.
English and Spanish documents ordinarily need no translation for this procedure. Other languages require an official Spanish translation with the corresponding source document. Visa requirements are a separate matter.
If your diploma is lost, has not yet been issued, or cannot be apostilled, contact us before ordering substitutes. Formal university replacement documents, sworn declarations and limited exceptions require individual assessment.
What happens before you mail originals
Upload the required PDFs, then continue directly to Stripe to pay the $300 service fee. Immediately after payment, your receipt shows the confirmed Ecuador recipient and a final package list without a login. We also email the address and full checklist.
The representative presents the required academic originals matching your uploaded scans, the applicable identification and a simple signed authorization. Keep your original passport with you; follow the instructions for identification copies. Download the authorization letter from your payment confirmation or email, fill in your own details and sign it. Include the signed original before mailing your package.
We recommend DHL Express with tracking and protective packaging. Keep apostilles attached and retain scans of everything. Use the printable inventory to list your actual package contents and contact details. The team handles government payment and appointment coordination later.
