Marriage is one of the most important decisions in a couple’s life, and in Costa Rica, it not only represents a sentimental union but also a legal bond with significant benefits. At ERP Lawyers, we have Public Notaries who can advise and guide you through every step of the process to ensure that your marriage takes place safely and in accordance with the law.
Benefits of Marriage in Costa Rica
Getting married in Costa Rica carries various legal and economic advantages, including:
-
Property Rights: Access to regimes that protect the couple’s assets.
-
Social Security Benefits: The right to include the spouse in medical and pension insurance.
-
Ease of Immigration Procedures: The opportunity to obtain residency if one of the spouses is a foreigner.
-
Inheritance Rights: Automatic entitlement to inheritances in case of death.
Prenuptial Agreements: Are They an Option in Costa Rica?
Yes. In Costa Rica, couples can establish prenuptial agreements, a legal mechanism that allows them to define how their assets will be managed within the marriage. This agreement must be made before the wedding and authorized by a Public Notary to be legally valid.

Costa Rica is a paradise destination with dream beaches, tropical forests, and idyllic landscapes that can make your wedding an unforgettable event. Whether you want an intimate ceremony with ocean views or a wedding by a secret waterfall, we help make it a reality.
Same-Sex Marriage
Since 2020, same-sex marriage has been legal in Costa Rica, allowing same-sex couples to marry with the same rights and benefits as any other couple. This represents a significant advancement in human rights protection and equality in Costa Rica. Additionally, it positions the country as a leader in human rights in Central America.
