Apostille Documents for Costa Rica Residency

Costa Rica is a popular country for the young and old alike to gain residency. And it’s no wonder, with the mountain jungles and beautiful beaches, retirees and young digital nomads are flocking to this small spot of land. Whether you are applying for temporary or long-term residency, you will need similar documents. And all of those documents require an apostille. But don’t worry; we can help you apostille documents for Costa Rica residency.

Apostille Documents for Costa Rica Residency

An apostille authenticates a document. It validates the seals and signatures of the paperwork, letting other countries know this is a genuine document. The Hague Convention of 1961 established a uniform way for all member countries to accept the validity of a document. And that is the apostille. Non-member countries require the documents to obtain embassy legalization.

Temporary residency in Costa Rica can be for retirees or digital nomads. But be ready to show proof of current and future income. For retirees, you must show a steady monthly income of at least $1,000.00.

Some required documents are:

• Birth certificate
• FBI background check
• Marriage certificate if your spouse is applying for residency
• Proof of income – this can be your Social Security Letter
• Certified copy of the entire passport
• And more

And all of these documents require an apostille and translation. This is where we come in. We can help you obtain the apostille and certified translation for each document.

Let One Source Process Obtain Your Apostilles

Each document needs its own apostille. And that can be confusing and time-consuming for you.

For example,

• Your birth certificate is a state-issued document and must receive authentication from the Secretary of State before applying for the apostille.
• The FBI background check is a federally-issued document. It does not need authentication from the Secretary of State but goes directly to the US Department of State in Washington, DC, for the apostille.

We can handle this all for you. Plus – we also offer certified translation of the document and the apostille. There is no need to find another company to do this for you.
