Does an English diploma need Spanish translation?
For this general recognition procedure, ask whether every page in the packet is in Spanish or English, including registrar statements and later certifications. A Russian-language attachment can have a different translation need from an English U.S. diploma. Confirm the accepted translation qualification where translation is needed. Do not buy a full Spanish translation automatically, and do not extend the exception to a visa, civil registry or licensing body.
Which academic records does the recognition procedure request?
The official page describes alternatives for a missing diploma and a conditional sworn-declaration alternative for specified residents. Those are Ecuadorian procedure rules, not permission to create a substitute document in Florida. Confirm eligibility and the current checklist with the receiving authority. A readable online upload does not remove any requirement that the underlying document be issued and certified correctly.

Is apostille the same as recognition?
No. It authenticates the relevant signature; Ecuador separately decides recognition.
Must every English U.S. diploma be translated?
Not under the cited general-recognition language rule, but confirm the actual procedure and all packet languages.
Can I use the same checklist for a health degree?
Do not assume so. The page identifies distinct fields and recognition routes.
