A small number of countries allow a consular marriage between two of their own citizens; whether Costa Rica is one of them is a question only its consular section can answer, so call <a class=\"eb-tel\" href=\"tel:+4312633824\">00431-263 38 24<\/a> or e-mail <a href=\"mailto:embcr-at@rree.go.cr\">embcr-at@rree.go.cr<\/a>.

Every foreign document has to be translated into Czech by a court-appointed translator and carry an apostille or consular legalisation. Start three to six months ahead: verification and appointment slots, not the ceremony, are what take the time.

Two practical points: a mission is a security-controlled building, so ask the consular section in advance whether a photographer may come in and whether their name and ID have to be registered at the door; and if the ceremony itself is at a Czech registry office, ask the <em>matrika<\/em> where the photographer is allowed to stand. We keep a list of <a href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/prague-vacation-photographers-photo-places\/\">photographers working in Prague and the best photo locations<\/a>, a guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/prague-proposal-photographer\/\">Prague proposal photography<\/a> for the moment before the paperwork, and a <a href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/prague-photography-guide\/\">city photography guide<\/a> for the portraits you will want afterwards on the Charles Bridge or in Letn\u00e1.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"eb-faq\">\n<summary>Does the Embassy of Costa Rica issue Czech visas?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"eb-a\">No. Visas and residence permits for the Czech Republic are issued by <em>Czech<\/em> embassies and consulates abroad and by the Czech Ministry of the Interior \u2014 never by another country&#8217;s mission in Prague. The mission of Costa Rica works the other way round: it serves citizens of Costa Rica living in or visiting the Czech Republic, and issues visas and documents for Costa Rica to everyone else. If you are moving here rather than visiting, our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/living-in-czech-republic\/\">living in the Czech Republic<\/a> covers permits, insurance and costs.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"eb-faq\">\n<summary>I lost my passport in Prague \u2014 who do I contact?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"eb-a\">Report the loss or theft to the Czech police first and keep the report \u2014 the consular section will ask for it before issuing anything.

Ask for an emergency travel document, which is normally issued for a single journey home. Outside office hours many missions run an emergency duty line; the switchboard message or the website usually gives it, so note the number down before you need it. Because Costa Rica has no embassy in Prague, the honorary consulate listed above is often the fastest first contact, even though the document itself comes from the embassy.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"eb-faq\">\n<summary>Is there a consulate of Costa Rica outside Prague \u2014 in Brno, Ostrava or Plze\u0148?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"eb-a\">Yes.

Note that this is not a Czech number, so it is not a local call from Prague. Every number on this page is a tap-to-call link.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"eb-faq\">\n<summary>Can the embassy legalise or apostille my documents?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"eb-a\">Usually yes, but only in one direction. A mission certifies signatures and copies for its own citizens and legalises documents issued in its own country. A Czech document that you need to use in Costa Rica normally has to be apostilled by the Czech authorities first \u2014 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for administrative documents, the Ministry of Justice for court and notarial ones \u2014 and only then presented to the consular section.
