Notary and registry

Weddings, property and vehicle transfers, certifications and signature authentication.

Notary services for personal and business matters, handled professionally so every process is simpler.

A Costa Rican notary public certifies acts and contracts: property and vehicle transfers, powers of attorney, civil weddings, company formation, certifications and signature authentication. We draft the deed and register it with the right registry.

If the document will be used abroad, we tell you what apostille or translation it needs before you sign, so you do not have to repeat the process.

  • Civil weddings
  • Property and vehicle transfers
  • Notarial certifications

Common questions

Can you marry us at a place we choose?

Yes. A notary can perform a civil wedding wherever you agree. We list the documents and, if either of you is a foreign national, what must be apostilled.

How is a vehicle transferred?

A transfer deed is signed before a notary, taxes and stamps are paid, and it is registered with the National Registry. First we check the vehicle has no liens or pending fines.

What is a power of attorney and which one do I need?

A document that authorizes someone to act for you. It can be general, special or general with full powers, depending on how much you delegate. We explain which is enough for your procedure.

Do you authenticate signatures for use abroad?

Yes. We authenticate the signature and tell you whether the document needs an apostille for the destination country.
