Civil Marriage Between a Foreign National and a Costa Rican Citizen
When one partner is Costa Rican and the other is a foreign national, each person’s identity and civil-status documentation must be reviewed according to the applicable requirements. AristaLegal coordinates the notarial process and follows the marriage declaration and registration with the Civil Registry
Legal Preparation Before the Ceremony
We review identification, freedom to marry, any required foreign-issued records, witness information, and the formalities applicable to the couple.
Marriage and Immigration Are Separate Legal Processes
Marriage to a Costa Rican citizen does not automatically grant residency or citizenship. If the couple wishes to explore a family-based immigration option, we can provide a separate legal assessment of the relevant requirements.
Contact us about your civil marriage. Share your nationalities and expected date so we can coordinate the documentation review and notarial ceremony.
