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

The questions only this certificate answers

A listing says what the seller wants you to see. The literal says what the State has on record.

Is the seller really the owner?

The certificate names the registered owner and their ID. If it does not match the person selling, stop.

What debts ride on the title?

Mortgages, embargoes and annotations transfer with the property at closing. They are all listed here.

Does the size match the listing?

The registered area and survey number are stated. A mismatch with the listing is a red flag worth chasing.

Will my lawyer and bank accept it?

This is the certified document institutions require. A screenshot of the free consulta is not.

Know the title, before you trust the listing.

Certified, same day, delivered by email.
