I stand corrected. I should have said except for the imperative and gerund. Regarding old Spanish, I can't comment.

As the examples from Don Quijote and the Project Gutenberg texts show, pronouns could be attached to other verb
forms in older forms of Spanish. It was still quite often done in literature in the 19th century. Today it is hardly ever
done, and only in rather archaic and stilted language.

I think that I would say "El examen es reconocido en toda latinoamérica", but the first
sentence is equally valid, imo. The second sentence just sounds a bit more simple and to
the point, but I guess I'm being quite subjective in this. I wouldn't suggest using the
third unless it is some sort of "it is being recognized at the moment".
Just my 2 cents.
