Expats need to prepare themselves for Costa Rica’s Gobierno Digital and Notaría Digital.
The digital government is slowly but surely taking over tasks that were terribly inefficient. Two examples are the issuing of drivers' licenses and passports. The Banco de Costa Rica, a key player in Costa Rica’s digital government, has begun taking over both. As of July 1, the bank had given out 10,500 appointments for renewing driver’s licenses and passports.

Notaries who handle property transactions have been told that they must register and provide reports to the nation's financial watchdog. The order means that information about purchasers and sellers will be more widely available.
Resolution number 814-2007 of the Notary Directorate, published June 22, advises that all notaries dealing in financial transactions must register with the Superintendencia General de Entidades Financieras. This includes, but is not limited to, purchase and sale contracts, mortgages, liens, and trusts.
