Official document

The full title search, read and explained.

The free registry record lists liens by number; it does not say what they contain. The estudio registral reads every gravamen, easement and annotation on the title in full, including pending presentations still in the registration queue, and we summarize what each one means for a buyer in plain English. This is the document that catches the problem the listing never mentions.

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 hides in the entries nobody reads

Real examples from our own client work this month.

A sale already pending on the title

We found a deed sitting in the registration queue on a listed property. The buyer would have discovered it at closing.

Which way does the easement run?

An easement can burden your parcel or benefit it. The free record does not say; the full text does.

What does the mortgage still secure?

An old hipoteca can be alive, expired or partially cancelled. The difference is the deal.

Why was a presentation cancelled?

Failed registrations leave tracks. They often point at a problem someone hit before you.
