Remote Online Notarization in Costa Rica

How Remote Online Notarization works in Costa Rica

Remote Online Notarization lets residents, businesses and expats in Costa Rica request notarial services entirely online, in English, Spanish or any other language. Our certified notaries verify your identity, apply a legally recognized notarial seal and signature, and issue notarized documents accepted by Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship (Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores y Culto) and by ministries, courts, banks, registries and embassies worldwide.

Notary7 delivers every type of notarial act for Costa Rica — including all forms of signature notarization and certified true copy notarization, sworn declarations and corporate acts — issued digitally or, where required, with an original wet-ink signature and seal. In Costa Rica, documents often require notarization by a local public notary, followed by an Apostille if the Hague Convention applies for international use. For countries not party to the Hague Convention, consular legalization through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship is necessary. Notarized documents from abroad, processed through Notary7, are recognized in Costa Rica and globally, streamlining multi-jurisdictional use. Ensure all foreign documents intended for use in Costa Rica are properly legalized to avoid delays or rejection, upholding local formalities.
