From the Embassies

US Embassy

ASK ACS The US Embassy in San Jose sees quite a few lost and stolen passports requests, often during the high travel season when there is an increased incidence of petty crime. We encourage you to safeguard your passport when traveling: Never leave bags unattended, even in a locked car; Keep your passport locked in a safe when not in use; Maintain a separate copy of the photo and biometric page of your most recent passport, as well as the page featuring your entry stamp into Costa Rica, for your records. What Should a US Citizen Do if his/her Passport is Lost or Stolen Abroad? You will have to replace the passport before returning to the United States. If you wish to report the loss of your passport, you may file a notification online at www.travel. state.gov/content/passports/en/passports/lost-stolen.html, or you may do so in person at the US Embassy when you apply for a replacement. If you do not have immediate travel needs, we suggest you make an appointment to ensure we are ready and available to assist you when you arrive. You can find more information on passports and our appointment system by visiting https:// cr.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/passports/. The forms required for all passport services are free of charge and are available both online at travel.state.gov and in hard copy at the Consular section at the San Jose Embassy. You can print and fill out your application in advance to streamline your visit. If you have concerns or questions before your visit, or cannot find a suitable time on our schedule to visit us, you can always reach out to our staff at the US Embassy in San Jose via phone at +506 2519-2590 or email at ACSSanJose@state.gov. We will make every effort to assist you quickly. What Do I Need to Replace my Lost or Stolen Passport? The following list identifies a number of documents/items you should bring with you to the embassy. Even if you are unable to present all of the documents, the consular staff will do their best to assist you to replace your passport. Please provide: • A passport photo. You can have your 2 inch-by-2 inch passport photo taken inside the ACS section of the Embassy. The cost of a set of passport photos at the embassy’s photo booth is 1,000 colones. • Identification (valid driver's license, expired passport, etc.) • Evidence of US citizenship (birth certificate, photocopy of your missing passport) • Travel Itinerary (airline tickets), if traveling is eminent • Police Report, if available • DS-11 Application for Passport and DS-64 Statement Regarding a Lost or Stolen Passport • Execution fee, paid in cash or via major credit card, in either dollars or colones What Fees are Charged to Replace Lost/Stolen Passports Abroad? A full schedule of passport fees can be found online at travel. state.gov. A regular passport renewal currently costs $110, and an emergency passport costs $145. Passport fees are collected from applicants for replacement passports. Applicants unable to pay the fee will be asked to provide names of persons they feel would be able to assist them financially. See our information about Financial Assistance to US citizens abroad and Sending Money Overseas to US Citizen in an Emergency on travel.state.gov. How Long are Replacement/Emergency Passports Valid? Replacement passports have full term validity. Complicating factors, such as multiple lost/stolen passports or borrowing money from the State Department to fund your trip home, may cause you to receive a limited passport. The interviewing officer will discuss these circumstances with you at the time of your interview, if this is the case. If you have urgent travel plans, we can issue a limitedvalidity, emergency passport on site to quickly allow you to return to the USA or continue on your trip. Make sure you notify the interviewing officer of your ongoing travel plans to ensure we issue a document with sufficient validity! After you complete your travel, within one calendar year from the

issue date of the emergency passport, you may be eligible to receive a full-validity passport in the United States or at an Embassy or Consulate abroad for no additional cost. Can the U.S. Embassy Issue a Replacement Passport on a Weekend or Holiday? The US Embassy in Costa Rica cannot issue a replacement passport on a weekend or holiday. If you have an emergency need to travel or have been the victim of a serious crime, you can contact the after-hours duty officer at +506 2519-2590 for advice or assistance to learn what resources are available to you.

UK Matters...

“IT’S NOT OVER UNTIL THE PAPERWORK IS DONE…” Is there anything more fun that completing paperwork in Costa Rica? Maybe dealing with bureaucracy in the UK! This time we thought we would look at some general guidelines for using Costa Rican official documents in UK and vice versa. Firstly, the dreaded ‘Apostille’ This is simply a certificate that states that the signature of a government official on any document is genuine. If the document is signed by someone else (e.g. Bank, University etc) then you will need to get a Notary to certify it first. Notaries are recognised as ‘official’ signatories for this purpose. To use a UK official document in Costa Rica you will need an apostille. As for most things related to the UK, the first place to look is www.gov.uk. There you can search “Legalise a document” and find the whole process explained. You pay online, send your document by post to the office in UK (address on the web page), sit back, and wait for it to be sent back to you. Of course, it is quicker and easier to do this if you are in the UK or have someone there who will help you. Once you have your UK document apostilled, you will need to get it translated and further authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs “Casa Amarilla” - Tico Times Print Editions

https://www.rree.go.cr/. Just search their web page for “Traductores” and then for “Autenticaciones”. To use a Costa Rican document in the UK you do not need an apostille. Amazing but true! Any official Costa Rican document, such as a birth or death certificate, with translation, is accepted for all official purposes in the UK. “What sort of translation?” you ask! Generally, a translation done by one of the Official Translators in Costa Rica will be fine. A last useful fact People who have lived here for any period of time might well be asked for proof of their clean criminal record “hoja de delincuencia” in Costa Rica. This can be requested via any of the Costa Rican Consulates around the world but, for some reason, can only be collected by a physical person, or their representative, from the OIJ offices in San Jose. Tricky if you are back in the UK! If you don’t have a cooperative friend who can devote time to picking this up for you, the good folk in ARCR will help for a small fee. Speak to Eileen Varela in the ARCR offices and they will guide you through the process!
