Dept of State says if your are 16 or older and lived in your country of nationality for more than 6 months at any time in your life, then submit a police certificate from your country of nationality.

I'm not sure how much easier I can make it. She was born in Ecuador, right? So she's Ecuadorian. She lived there for more than six months. And she's over sixteen now. She needs a police certificate from Ecuador.

Wait! What? Peru? Where did that come from? I thought she was from Ecuador. From what you've said earlier, Peruvian police certificate is not required. Just Ecuador and Spain.

This is the information on the requirement for a Police Certficate for Ecuador and Peru (whichever applies to you) per the US Department of State website

https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/fees/reciprocity-by-country.html

 

FOR ECUADOR:

• Available
• Fees: N/A
• Document Name: Certificado de Antecedentes Penales
• Issuing Authority: Ministry of Interior
• Special Seal(s) / Color / Format: The police record can be printed from the Ministry of Interior website.
• Procedure for Obtaining: On June 4, 2012, Ecuador eliminated the former printed certificate and implemented a webpage (www.ministeriodelinterior.gob.ec) where any person can review his own or someone else's police certificates online using an Ecuadorian national identification number or a passport number.
• Exceptions: Certificado de Antecedentes Penales are not available for people under the age of 18.
• Comments: The police record has a box that states "Posee Antecedentes" ("has a record"). If the box is marked "SI" ("YES"), applicants must bring their complete court records, along with an English translation, to the Consulate on the day of their interview. Failure to comply with this requirement on the day of the interview will delay visa processing. If the box is marked "NO," the applicant does not have a criminal record. Please note that this does not necessarily mean the subject has no police record, since police records can be purged upon the subject's request without judicial permission. Also, the "Certificado de Antecedentes Penales" only shows cases where a sentence has been delivered. Pending cases will not appear on this certificate. 

FOR PERU

• Available: Yes. To those 18 and older.
• Fees: S/17 Nuevos Soles (approximately $6 dollars)
• Document Name: Certificado de Antecedentes Policiales (Certificate of Police Record)
• Issuing Government Authority: Records are issued by the Peruvian National Police (Policia Nacional del Peru) at local police stations.
• Special Seal(s) / Color / Format: Police Records are issued on green paper with the heading "Policia Nacional del Peru, Division de Identificacion, Certificado de Antecedentes Policiales." A scanned copy of the applicant's photo also appears on the certificate.
• Issuing Authority Personnel Title: Police Commanderor Commissar.
• Registration Criteria: Applicants without criminal records will have "No Registra Antecedentes" (does not have records) printed on the form.
• Procedure for Obtaining: Police records are available for applicants age 18 and over. The applicant must pay the appropriate fee at any Banco de La Nacion branch and then complete the process in an authorized police station.
• Certified Copies: Not Available.
• Alternate Documents: A police record may be issued to residents or non-residents upon application to "Policia de Investigaciones del Peru, Division de Identificacion Criminalistica de Lima," Av. Aramburu No. 550, Lima 34. The applicant must first request a fingerprint chart (ficha de canje internacional) and provide one photo. Processing time is normally three days. There is a small fee.
• Exceptions: None
• Comments: This document may not contain an accurate listing of all police records since there is no national database and each precinct maintains its own record. Therefore, for immigrant visa processing, the Consular Section in Lima requires 1) Certificado de Antecedentes Policiales, 2) Certificado Judicial de Antecedentes Penales, and 3) Certificado de Antecedentes Judiciales a Nivel Nacional.
