| Formes de signification ou de notification (art. 5(1)(2)): |
The request must be physically submitted with two complete copies to the Central Authority of Costa Rica, which is the Legal Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship. The envelope must be clearly labeled to avoid misplacement. The physical address is as follows: Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship Additionally, the request must be sent in digital format, scanned into a single document, to the email: cooperacionjudicialinternacional@rree.go.cr. Please include the name of the courier company that will handle the delivery in this email. This information is essential for the Legal Department to anticipate the documentation and provide traceability reports in the future. Upon receipt of the request, the Legal Department will verify the completeness of the documentation, ensure that Spanish translations are provided, and confirm that two sets of copies are included. If the request is incomplete, the Legal Department may issue a notice to the requesting State regarding the missing requirements. Once the request is complete, the Legal Department will have a period of 10 business days to transmit the documentation to the Secretariat of the Supreme Court of Justice. The Secretariat of the Supreme Court of Justice will then forward the request to the corresponding Judicial Circuit. In Costa Rica, it is a judge who issues a resolution and orders the service. A judicial server will be authorized to reach the location specified in the request and execute the service. Once the judicial file has been processed, it returns to the Secretariat of the Supreme Court of Justice from the courts. The Secretariat certifies the documents and forwards them to the Legal Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship, which sends the final certification as the Central Authority to the requesting country.
