Hello Andrea I used Ignacio Guzman for my car purchase LawyerofCostaRica.com
We are selling our 2013 RAV4 if you are interested? We just purchased it when we moved to CR in March 2016 and did so through Jacqueline Monacell. However, because we live in the Southern Zone, we need something with higher clearance and better off road 4 wheel drive capacity. PM me if you are interested in more info. Otherwise, Jacqueline is very good person to assist with all aspects of purchasing. including incorporating if you want to and getting the car inspected.
At one time, there was a service in San Jose that helped you find a car for sale...they did the initial screening and coordinated the purchase for a fee.
Does anybody...

Margaret A. replied:
My official translator is in San Jose. She will allow you to scan and email your documents to her. She sends you price and arranges meeting time when translations will be ready. Some people from other parts of country come to San Jose day before they are going to submit application packages, meet translator to pay for and pick-up translations. Then, submit application package to Migracion first thing next morning.
List of official translators certified by Costa Rica Ministry of Foreign Affairs: http://www.rree.go.cr/index.php?sec=servicios&cat=autenticaciones&cont=729
Margaret A. replied:
You can also use ANY Notary in Costa Rica for official translations. Notaries in Costa Rica are different than in US. Only lawyers can be Notaries in Costa Rica and not all Costa Rican lawyers are Notaries.

Margaret A. replied:
It is easy to do yourself especially if based on pension. Migracion.com provides application form, list of requirements and step-by-step directions. You have to gather all your own documents with or without lawyer. It is just as easy to hand your documents to Migracion officer as it is to hand them to s lawyer.......actually easier because you put legal fees in your pocket.
