We have our licenses!!!!
All went well. We were at COSEVI for 3 hours, that includes the bank closing for lunch. We were prepared in advance with doctor’s report, blood type on separate page, which we kept (thanks for the tip).
What we didn’t have were 3 copies each of the passport pages, US license front and back. We only had one each. They will keep the original doctor’s report. We kept one copy for ourselves.
Wear sneakers, we were running back and forth for copies and the bank and to find the “soda” for a quick bean empanada.
Cost was 4,000 colones for the license. Additional 4,000 for separate motorcycle license.
We are good for three years. 😀Jerry, thanks, the website is very informative and current. We will consider their service.
Jean and RichRosie,
Taking proof of where we live is an excellent idea, we had not thought of that. Yup, I know the medical and blood test cost money. We have already taken care of those details. Everything cost money and more than we expect. Oh well.
We will be like teenagers, bragging when we get our Costa Rican license 🙂
Have a good evening!
J&RThank goodness for this forum and the enlightened folks who take the time to answer our questions. We will make the trek to La Uruca next week for our licenses and see what else we may be able to accomplish while in San Jose.
Ciao!
Jean and RichHola! No I am not under 25. I am a senior, actually a senora 🙂
I think I have things in good order. Just need to find the Casa Amarilla for translations. I check on updates, because, in the short time we have been in Costa Rica, we find that things are constantly changing. I figure we will get to San Jose to get the ball rolling and learn from there if we are on the right track.
Thanks a lot for your reply. Like ur pic 🙂
Pura Vida
JeanThanks Dave for your prompt reply. This validates what we have in order for our license. You are probably right about needing to go to San Jose. Do we need an appointment?
So many things change around here that it is good to confirm on what is “current”.
Thank goodness for you earlier pioneers who make the way easier for us newcomers.
Pura Vida
Jean & Rich
