Questions
Frequently asked
How do I pay, and is it secure?
You pay securely by card at checkout, or place the order by email and we send a secure payment link. We never take card details by message.
How fast will I get my document?
Registry documents are usually delivered the same day. Municipal documents take a few business days because we file them with the municipality on your behalf. Reports built from data we already hold are instant.
What happens if the property or document can't be found?
You get a full refund. If we cannot retrieve the document from the official source, you do not pay. No risk to you.
Do I need the certified English translation?
Only if you want it. The document is official in Spanish. We offer an optional certified English translation so you, your lender, or your home-country lawyer can read it with confidence.
Are these the real, official government records?
Yes. We retrieve the actual records from the National Registry (RNP) and the municipality. We are a coordination service that pulls and delivers them; the issuing authority is always the government.
Can you get documents not listed (SETENA, ICT concession, Hacienda)?
Yes. Message us with what you need and the property, and we will quote it. We can coordinate most official property-related documents in Costa Rica.
Why it matters
What buyers lose without the records
Every one of these has cost a buyer their deposit, or their property.
Hidden liens
Mortgages and debts registered against a property transfer to you at closing.
Boundary problems
The plano and the registry finca don't match, so the fence isn't the legal line.
Ownership disputes
The seller may hold only possession rights, not registered title.
Zoning & maritime
Protected areas, the 200m maritime zone, or use restrictions can make land unbuildable.
Unpaid taxes
Outstanding municipal and Hacienda obligations can block your transfer.
