What is on an Ecuadorian Acta de Grado, field by field

The Acta de Grado is the formal record of a student’s graduation from an Ecuadorian secondary school, signed by the school’s executive council and endorsed by the Ministry of Education. It carries the grades that credential evaluators need. The fields below are from an Acta we have translated, issued by a provincial secondary school.

Every example on this page is invented. The reference numbers, dates, names and grades shown below are made up to illustrate the format — they are not from anyone’s document. We never publish, share or reuse a customer’s file: uploads are used only to produce your translation, are not used to train anything, and are deleted whenever you ask. What we learn from doing this work is how these documents are structured — never what is written on yours.

Field on your documentWhat it is / how we handle it
Acta de Grado No.The graduation record number — the primary identifier, matching the endorsement number.
Régimen escolarSierra or Costa — Ecuador runs two school calendars by region. Kept, because it explains the academic year dates.
Año lectivoThe school year, e.g. 2017–2018.
JornadaThe session attended — matutina (morning), vespertina (afternoon), nocturna (evening).
Institución educativaThe school’s full legal name, including its type (fiscomisional, fiscal, particular). Kept in Spanish with the type explained.
Consejo Ejecutivo membersRector, vice-rector, first/second/third board members (vocales) and the secretary — six named officers with roles.

Promedio del subnivel de Básica SuperiorAverage for lower-secondary grades, on the 10-point scale.
Promedio de los tres años de BachilleratoAverage across the three years of upper secondary.

What goes wrong with Ecuadorian school records

Exactly what you'll receive

A word-for-word certified translation on company letterhead plus a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy — the package USCIS expects. Most orders are ready in as little as 35 minutes; the industry standard is 24 hours. Every order carries a public verification link an officer can check in seconds.

Sample certified translation deliverable: translation page and signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy

Sample shown with fictional data. Every translation is checked field-by-field against your original before release; flagged documents are held back, not auto-delivered. Anyone can confirm authenticity at certmytranslation.com/verify.

Languages we translate into English

*Low-resource languages are routed to manual review automatically. Handwritten or damaged historical documents may also be routed to a human reviewer (delivered within 24 hours) — you will see this before you pay, nothing extra.

Frequently asked questions

Is this translation accepted by USCIS?
Yes. USCIS requires a complete English translation together with a certification that the translator is competent and the translation is accurate (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)). Every order includes that signed certification on company letterhead, with an order number that can be independently verified on our verification page. If USCIS ever rejects a translation we prepared, send us the notice (or just point us to the error) within 180 days and we fix it free or refund you in full — your choice.
Who translates my document, and who is accountable for it?
Translations are produced through RENDUN LIMITED's translation process, which combines translation technology with multi-step verification: names, dates and numbers get an independent second reading. Documents the system flags as handwritten, damaged or complex are reviewed by a person before delivery. Every certificate is signed by the company's authorised representative, who takes responsibility for the translation, and carries our postal address, telephone number, email address and a public verification link. USCIS specifies what a certification must contain, not who performs the translation; ours contains every required element. If USCIS rejects a translation, we refund it.
How can an officer or employer verify that this translation is genuine?
Three ways, none of which need an account. 1) The order number on the certificate can be entered at certmytranslation.com/verify, which confirms the order was issued by us, the date, the language pair and the document type — never names or contents. 2) The certification page carries a Document ID computed from the translation itself; the verification page shows the same ID, so a certificate whose text has been altered will not match. 3) The verification page shows the SHA-256 fingerprint of the exact PDF we issued and lets anyone check a PDF file against it in the browser without uploading it. The certificate also carries our telephone number and email for direct enquiries.
Do I need a notarized translation?
Not for USCIS. USCIS removed the notarization requirement decades ago — a certified translation is exactly what the instructions ask for. Some DMVs, courts and apostille processes do want notarization; if that is your situation, contact us and we will point you to a suitable notarized-translation provider.
How fast will I get my translation?
Typical orders are delivered in under 10 minutes. Handwritten, damaged or low-resolution documents are routed to manual review and delivered within 24 hours — you'll see the status on your order page.
What does it cost?
$19.95 per page, flat. No subscriptions, no accounts, no upsells. You pay with PayPal or card and download a finished PDF: translation, signed certification page, and a copy of your original.
Is my document safe?
Files are encrypted in transit and never used to train AI models. We keep your uploads and finished translations securely on file so you can request a copy or a correction whenever you need one. Prefer deletion? Email us any time and everything is removed within 48 hours.
What if something in my document is unreadable?
Industry practice (and USCIS expectation) is to mark unreadable text as [Illegible] rather than guess. Our multi-step verification compares two independent AI readings plus your own confirmation of names and dates, so nothing is silently invented.
Will WES accept this translation?
Credential evaluators accept certified word-for-word translations, which is what we issue. Note they normally also require the school or the Ministry to send the record directly — the translation accompanies that, it does not replace it.
Should I also translate my récord académico (transcript)?
If your evaluator or university asks for year-by-year subject grades, yes — the Acta gives averages, the transcript gives the detail. Each page is $19.95.

How certification works. Every order includes a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy on company letterhead that meets the USCIS requirement (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)) for a complete English translation with a translator certification. Each certificate carries an order number you can verify at any time at certmytranslation.com/verify. USCIS does not require notarization for supporting documents — see our USCIS guide.
