Apostille Court Judgment / Order for Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Court Judgment / Order Apostille for Costa Rica — end-to-end workflow

NAATI Thailand operates a dedicated Apostille desk for the Thai Court Judgment / Order (issued by Court of Justice), with end-to-end delivery to Costa Rica 🇨🇷. We translate, notarise and walk the file through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at Chaeng Watthana under one job number — the workflow most consulates, universities and immigration officers in Costa Rica expect to see.

Why Apostille (not Embassy Legalisation) for Costa Rica — Thailand deposited its instrument of accession to the Hague Apostille Convention on 30 June 2026, with entry into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027. Costa Rica is a Hague member, which means a single Thai MFA legalization stamp replaces the previous Embassy-of-Costa Rica legalisation step. The chain is shorter, the cost is lower, and the apostille is internationally verifiable from a register number.

Certified translation requirement — Receiving authorities in Costa Rica require the Court Judgment / Order in สเปน. The translation must be performed by a Traductor Oficial + Apostille. We allocate the job to a senior translator with at least 8 years of certified-translation experience; the file is bilingually proofread by a second linguist before notarisation.

Document preparation before MFA — คำพิพากษาตราครุฑจากศาล + แปล + Notary. บางประเทศต้อง legalisation เพิ่มแม้ Apostille ผ่านแล้ว. We confirm the romanised spelling of your name against your passport bio-page in writing before drafting, so the apostilled translation matches every other Costa Rica-side filing (visa, civil registry, university, professional council).

Why receiving authorities accept our package — Each apostilled bundle leaves our chambers with: original Thai document (or certified true copy), certified สเปน translation on letterhead with translator's signature and stamp, Notary Public seal certifying the translator's signature, MFA legalization on the translation (and original where required), and a numbered certificate of accuracy. This is the exact stack Costa Rica consulates, civil registries and the receiving authority routinely accept.

Working tips for Costa Rica-bound clients — Send the sharpest scan you can (300 dpi or better, all four corners visible). Tell us the receiving authority by name so we can pick the correct certification template. Allow 10–14 วันทำการ for the full chain. If you need an apostilled hard-copy delivered overseas, request DHL on intake and we will bundle the courier into the quote.
