What is a Costa Rican Notary Public?
In Costa Rica, notaries are specially qualified attorneys who serve as government agents, providing "public faith" to legal documents. Unlike notaries in other countries, they are licensed lawyers with extensive legal training and authorization from the National Notary Directorate.
These legal professionals ensure that documents are executed correctly, authenticated properly, and registered with appropriate government agencies. Their role is essential for property transfers, business formations, and international transactions.
